I have one of these:

It has one little mark on it that my camera wont pick up. I was just going to put on the wall at home as it looks amazing.

It's actually hard to tell whether it looks good from those photos.

Let's see a picture of it on your wall....

I have a price list that they sent me... Just had to ask. Very expensive - even stock parts on the list are c25% more expensive than a main dealer which is strange.

I agree with you... The carbon boot spoiler looks naff...
Maybe if it was colour coded to the car and fitted with no tell tale signs, then would look like the rear boot lid of the V12V....

Cant imagine they sell many....

I do rather like this though!!! http://www.thevantagecollection.com/engine_cover.h...

I actually quite like that. Wouldn't have the carbon weave showing though, really dislike it, would have it painted to match the car instead.

I bet it costs an absolute fortune though, and it is a bit pointless since no one will ever see it. I'll stick with the plastic one smile

I thought that, paint it same colour as the car!! Just had my door sill mounts coloured to match my car colour...

I see a lot of the Nissan GTR boys cladding engine bays with carbon, looks fantastic when the bonnts open but does seem pointless out of sight...

That is for when they are parked in McDonalds car park with the bonnet up......always seemed odd to me when you park in McDonalds car park you might want to rev your engine or pop your bonnet open. I assumed old Ronald was a whizz with the spanners and they are just waiting for him to pop out and get working (that would explain why he wears white gloves all the time...it's to stop the grease and swarfega hurting his delicate little hands)

I should be getting the car back one day this week, so will have pleanty of pics..... I have had the rear reflectors removed from the rear bumper, filled and painted too, a little difference.....

To be honest I am suprised that they are not colour coded from the factory..
