The side strakes are actually carbon fiber and not gloss black. This was a factory option for the Vantage S. As for the grilles, my front grill is the bright finish grill and actually looks a close match to the "tinted brushed" finish of the HRE wheels (before the brake dust collects ) As for the grills under the side strakes and on the hood, I'm currently pursuing options to match my setup better, along with the exhaust tips.

The H&R's are fitted directly on the shock absorber. I asked about this "adjustable spring perch" but after closely looking, I didn't see the option to adjust. But based off the height after settling, I couldn't be any happier.

Swap me for your Ferrari 458, and it's yours, LOL!

Wow, I always go back and forth between a flush mesh type look or something with a lip. That is just nasty!

looks lovely, though I can't say I'm convinced the increase in the size of the wheels will make it a better car to drive - interested in your thoughts

as you say, Magma is a very difficult car to photo and get the colour across well - by way of contrasts, here is my old Magma S roadster in daylight - a trip round the EVO triangle from earlier this year. Looks like a different colour !

That really did make me laugh out loud. Fast as in competitive on the track or fast as in stoplight to stoplight? Unless you're speaking strictly track, how fast can you really drive any car on the street? Street race it and have in confiscated by the po po? Anything sub 5.0 sec 0-60 is really more than you'll eva need on the street...... Or, are you just wanting everyone to know you have the fastest? There's always going to be someone with a faster car...... Merry Christmas!
