Hi

fil117 · 07-16-2023, 09:16 AM

Thought i'd say hi and share some pics of my car, picked up a few weeks ago now.
Good to join the forum and check out handy hints and tips.
Absolutely loving the car, puts a massive smile on your face when you drive it!
Really thinking about doing a PPF front pack to protect from stone-chips etc.
Anyway, thought i'd say hello and share some initial pics.
Cheers

Welcome to our Unicorn club and congrats on getting this black beauty! Definitely protect the car with PPF and if your budget allows, ceramic coating also.

You may wish to change the badges to the OEM gloss black badges that are sold by several online merchants which will only enhance your all black look. 😎

Thanks. Good shout with the gloss black badges, but think i'm going to go down the de-badging route on the back, i'll leave the sides as they are.

No, normal cool white, it's just a filter i've added after taking the pics that makes them look more yellow.

Nice choice, Congratulations!!!

Welcome - lovely car, especially the wheels with the silver edging

Agree on the gloss black badges - I went that route too (don't forget the side badges) and don't regret it at all.
