That is BLINGING beautiful Paul very tasty indeed. OK questions start here

Who fitted the exhaust, and is it JCW ?
Were did you get the gear level ?
Are the alloys 18" ?

Look forward to meeting you on a run sometime to comparing everything BLING ?

Ok I admit, its not a JCW but the badge saved me £3500 [so I'm off to Australia with the money saved [
Exhaust is a custom made stainless steel Powerflow - it sounds awesome - like an Tornado or F11 got a local mechanic who knows about cars to fit and hang - he had to make brackets etc so as not to drill into chassis. took couple of hours but worth it


The gearknob is a Richbrook - you can buy them off Ebay for £25- much better than a Whalen and it really does change the 'feel' of driving the car- my best purchase

Wheels are my old Milia Milgia 18"

So where did you get the badge from and any chance of your supplier getting a couple for me as I would like to adorn my side vents with some WORKS badging (keeping the rear of the car clear)???

IF....... you can hold of them theyre not cheap, and like Golddust but not as much as £3500 for the full conversion. JCW won't sell them unless you have conversion numbers etc.
I've got my hands on two, ones on the rear the other I may let go.....It's a smaller version for front of bonett or side vent it has one lug for fixing / think the other got sheared off suppose you could cut lug off and twin stick. It's not silver but but brass with jcw logo. about 2 and half inches long . Thinking if i may let it go as it may be one too many for the car.

Otherewise check Ebay out but expect to pay £60 upwards if your lucky
