if was gong to colour code the tops of the bumpers and arches. I would remove the side plastics on the doors and get a tigra scuttle and repsray the wheels, scuttle and arches and bumpers tops in a dark gunmetal colour, i think anthracite might be too light

but will see what phils looks like first, should look shite hot

I hope you've left the inlet runners/ports with a smooth, but rough finish.

Looks good work, done all the head yourself?
