Ian Giles, you know your making Bertone Italy look bad here? It is truly a masterpeice of rare quality and un-comprimised detail. You should be very proud of that work!!
I hope you keep that car in that condition forever, it is surely priceless!

paint the headlight surrounds black, have them colour matched for your car

The wheels look awesome! Did you notice one shaking or have you fixed it?

There is an occasional shake just a certain speeds for a short time, what I did notice is how the tires GRAB road imperfections and ruts ... especially with the low caster I am using, that I will be increasing back to stock before the Vancouver trip.

Yeah...they did that for me too. I wrote it off to the 13mm spacers I had up front... The grip is silly though...

The headlight surrounds look grey in the pics, they are actually matching the interior/shift knob... I like em :)

Sweet but i would like to see it with the headlights and cowl color matched. I think it would make the car look more finished.

The cowl is painted now, looks pretty nice (although Ian I noticed a small run on the drivers side of it)

Small run ... you are kind.
The paint job on the cowl is a fast, backyard, cheap spraybomb job.
For next spring the cowl will have a nice finish on it.

Painting the headlight covers to match the car does not work either (tried it) there is no contract on the front of the car and it looks bad. The headlight surrounds are actually covered with "carbon fiber" vinyl. it tends to be somewhat refective so in the pictures it looks lighter that it actually is. I am still looking for alternatives but for now the finish on them is the best comprimise (in my opinion)
