Awesome!!. When I switched to the JCW aero kit from the factory aero kit I decided to get new unpainted wheel arches. But your car looks great all in the one color. I like the brown top and hot chocolate interior too.

Who did you go with to paint the wheel arches? I am considering that mod in Chili red and would appreciate recommendations for long lasting paint work.

The wheel arches were painted by a local body shop, Severn Auto body. As long as they are prepped right, most body shops should be able to do a good job.

I would not recommend trying to paint the wheel arches while they are still textured, they need to be sanded first. Once they are sanded, they're pretty much the same as painting the other aero parts.

Very nice, almost the one I want to configure for my wife.

I will have to steel some of your pictures to show her.

Thank for posting a really nice setup.
