Still need to sort out the turbo ears as well after getting a reaction and giving up after first layer of paint. thinking i will just do them satin black or gloss black to break up the colour a bit as i quite like the two tone look. 

 

What is everyones thoughts? to black or not to black?...

Also not 100% with the exhaust tips as they stick out a bit too much for my liking so will probably take exhaust back off to trim them back about an inch.

ear mesh black. (maybe add bootlid mesh), and indeed tips an inch (or 2) back is perfect.
