I actually quite like the color combo, not a fan of the side canards.
Bonnet looks porn, do you have any pics from the bottom of the bonnet? Is it overlaid with fiberglass frame or CF?

oh dear god! i love it :D

this is exactly what i wanted to do, front looks insane, but it need something along the side, and rear.

are you using GV canards? have you had any dramas with them and the splitter? or do you run them only on track days?

hmmmmm, maybe they'd look a lil better smaller and dish but not a fan at all of the one that comes up!

So, what's gonna happen to the old wheels then and is there any chance they'd fit an SE without the flares? I bloody doubt it but....

not a chance in hell. old rims would probably become track wheels.

how are you mounting the seats?

Stock seat rails or aftermarket?
