You're gonna have to change the graphic on your bonnet/scoop. Or mount the squirrel head as a trophy.

That looks really sweet with the polished JCW wheels and the black paint.

The wheels are great although they are about to be replaced under Warranty next week due to the fact that the wheels have started getting white marks and bubbling on the surface which i believe is caused by moisture getting in behind the lacquer... But there were no quibbles by the dealership and a new set of Shiny JCW alloys are heading my way......

Alright, let's try this again.........

Had 15x8 on it and it was not really drive worthy. Put 16x7 1/2 and now we're pretty much good to go. I just got to take some better pics.
