One thing though have you not got the pistons in the wrong way? The larger cutout looks to be at the front and it should be at the back? Could just be a optical illusion though?

how the f**k did you notice that

According to them its there toughest coat, all the colours have a base of white... I did think about going black but I thought white would go better with car!!! My friends had metalic black, I fitted his all up today looks epic...

Looking absolutely sensational I really love the attention to detail.

One thing that would bug me though is that bloody purple fuel rail.
Not fancy getting it re-anodised black?

maybe its just me.
