That looks great. The new paint color looks perfect on this model.

VERY nicely done, Narbeh. These thing look SO cool without bumpers. What did you use for....

the wire wheels?

Good work Narbeh but those door frames always bugged me. Nice paint job!

For the conversion to wire wheels, Narbeh. It looks like the stock version has red disc wheels......

..and your race car has wire wheels. Just wondering where you got the wire wheels! Grin

I got these wire wheels from Signature's Aston Martin DB4 which I happened to have an extra set, however this model comes in 2 version both in wire and standard wheels, I just got a good deal on this one.
