That is looking mighty fine!

I have my calipers painted red and ready to put on. They will look AWESOME against your mighty blackness. =)

I had someone today say the front reminds them of the new F Type. I WISH!! Probably the badge in the grille. I kind of see it in the side view pic.

Diggin' the new look.

I think I remember reading a thread a few months back where one of the members
gave a cautionary note to another member about lowering the rear end while
simultaneously adding wheel spacers. Something about tires rubbing fenders.

I like the notion of lowering and spacing myself - just sayin'.

Actually, I think the correct term in this situation would be "Bricer"
A British ricer!! Lol
I'm walking a fine line! The only thing that I'm not 1000% in love with are the bonnet bulges. I'm looking for an XKR bonnet with real vents.
Hey, I've even got a piano black leaper that I was going to install but I luckily changed my mind!!

I read that post, several in fact, about lowering. I think most of those had 19 or 20" wheels. These are 18" and hopefully they'll be ok. I'm sure the rear will have plenty of space and since I'm not lowering the front, there should be room.
