i like the matte black. if your going to go with a silver body you can't go wrong with chrome lips and black spokes for the wheels in my opinion.

Hahaha. Sorry guys. Playing around with the offset (spacers) 25mm at the front is good but the 9" rear is rubbing and needs to be no more then 28mm.. I could just adjust the Module I guess but I like it low lol..

I think the rear's look SPOT ON! DO NOT, and I mean DO NOT raise it! It's perfect!

I was gonna say either Diamond Black or Silver, both colors would look hot against a matte black or silver body. It looks like you made up your mind. Nice choice!

Ok, offset sorted, 5mm spacer at the back for ET30 (i'm too low to go wider) front will be ET25.

Few more bits to finish off like hub-centric 5mm spacer and some more wax!

Detail and then we get some nice pictures up, got my carbon interior all fitted along with alcantara roof with matching steering wheel and 55% tint done too.

Quick snap on my bb
