My new wood panel came with the V12 emblem and I dont want that since I have a V8. And of course it left ugly marks in the wood when removed so I added this designo emlbem instead since my car is one after I changed the interior. I think it loks great.
Also added one in the back like the original designo cars have.
Just had to have this one.
Here is a little TEASER pic of the finnished car so you have something to look at until I get all the pics done...

Look forward to see and read about your project and hope all parts you got from me will be to your satisfaction...
The emblem is on its place now...On that pic I had just installed it.

Great job. Like the V12 Grill. Does your car have Disronic + and is it OEM ? They are a fortune from the Dealer in the UK

NO WAY i pay for a OEM grill. SO OVERPRICED..The little distronic plate is OEM though because the copy dont work.

chris, i like the color of your new led headlights. Is that factory HID bulb or is that aftermarket? If aftermarket can you tell me what hid bulbs you use?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Looks good Chris! Congratulations!
If it's not too much effort for you can you take a picture of your wheels with brakes.
Great job!!!

Sure..There will be ALOT more pics soon...But rear is original since it didnt fit...I added drilled rotors though to make it look a little better. Then I see if I buy new wheels sommetime so it can fit.
