I have an element of 'M-styling' on my car, If that's a good enough reason for the manufacturers to adorn a 320 with the M badge, then its certainly a good enough reason for me..

On the contrary...I think Hunter's car looks really mean. If you saw that red/gold beast coming at you, wouldn't you be worried!!

I agree, would look much better where it is normally situated on the bumper.

The body kit is not to my tastes either but it looks like you have done a great job and at least done it properly. The wheels look great, any plans to lower it a little so they sit better in the arches?

Great effort Hunter :wink:

The overall look won't please everyone's eyes but if your happy with it that's all that matters. Well done

Your car is stunning Hunter...Well done. I was looking back at the first pics you posted when you got the car, it's a huge transformation. I imagine you've been "cruisin' "....Yes the interior needs a bit of tidying and cleaning/ polishing etc.

Still full of bodyshop dust etc..got an arm rest to fit as well...then new mats, and some better speakers....Oh and a red steering wheel..but i think i may struggle with that.....
Took the car back to the wheel shop today and had the 5mm spacers replaced with 3mm spacers, also had them rebalanced
And thanks Southernboy, your always positive and have words of encouragement....

May not be to everyone's taste, but it's been done properly, it's been done the way you want it and there is not another one like it! Hope you get a decent spell of weather soon to enjoy driving around in it.

looks fantastic mate . a big yes on moving the front number plate back to its proper place :wink: and mesh for the great looking twin pipes ....
another idea for you ,instead of wrapping the door handles and windscreen trim . adding a pair of proper chrome side vents would balance it out and look great .. 8-) (I may be selling my chrome vents soon )

I don't think you need chrome anywhere on the car, just my opinion.

Can you put a Black/carbon center cap on your wheels? I think it would look good!
