Apparently working on it quicker than I thought.
Here's a shot (bad one) of the CF43 on an R8 from the Top Marques show in Monaco...
And here's a photoshop we did on a Mercedes C63...

? Tire installation
Please advise future owners that they will need a tire install shop with a Corgi type machine.
This machine holds the wheels assy at the barrel (lug hole )and not the rim assy.
I had a CO2 cylinder puncture my new PS2 rear and I had to tow the car home and re-install my stock wheels and take the wheel assy over 100 miles to a shop with a approved machine....
I wouldnt take these wheels on a long drive out of town with a chance of a tire failure and to worry about a shop with the correct tire machine to install.
