Beautiful, apart from the rear window tints. Sorry but they make it look like a hearse!

Soooooooo Nice !!
Glad you kept with the orange lights, looks far better than clear ones - now do the same with the SEC!

I really like this car, it's the closest you're going to get to a 500TE in reality.
I've just had a look back through the pictures and think I'd paint the grill surround body colour.
A while back Nev arrived at my warehouse in his Red TE and I spent a while looking at it as something didn't sit right. I liked the De chromed look but after a while it dawned on me the grille surround would look better bodycolour than satin black. It wouldn't look like a large slab on the front.
I think the grille surround on your car would look great in Blue/Black to match the bodywork and still be absolutely period.

Utterly excellent - but would look better with the exhausts hidden?
