Collected my car yesterday from Wraptor Customs after a few modifications (okay maybe more than a few).

Originally just wanted a big brake kit, dechrome, tint, P7 style front grille and high flow exhaust; but ended up also getting it machine polished, ceramic coated and picking up a few carbon fiber bits. Exhaust tips, mirror covers, side vents and bonnet vents. Then the big brake kit was so big I also had to get some spacers.

Can't explain the grin I had on my face yesterday seeing it with all the work done, and I can't post the videos onto here but it sounds so good (not that they don't from stock but this is different gravy)! Not ridiculous when you have the flaps closed so still fine driving through the residential areas but when you give it the beans with the vents open...

Anyway, the pictures are below (will update with more when I get her on a proper drive soon). Wasn't so sure originally on the decal front number plate and did want to go with it mounted from the underside but because of my front splitter that wasn't possible. However I quite like the look of the decal, I know this splits opinions on here but after seeing Darren's a few months back it's grown on me and I feel it gives more of a 'supercar look' almost.
I got two thumbs up on the drive back down to London which made my day πŸ˜‚

Would highly recommend Wraptor Customs, Dudley there was so good with all of the updates along the way and I'm so happy with the work he's done.

My god, what a beauty!

I LOVE the carbon bits on the car too... my F Type is the same colour (Stratus Grey), and now I want all that carbon, looks incredible.

Looking forward to more photos.

Looks great - wish my paint was to that standard (same colour)

All works so well with wheels, brakes, carbon bits and overall black theme. Just don't like the double advert on the rear number plate and the stick on front plate to me never looks right on a road car, but that just an opinion and if you like it then that's all that matters :)

Thanks all :)

Not sure on the brand of big brake kit to be honest Darren, all I know is it's six piston.
I'm going to try and make it to the breakfast club in September but may be travelling with work, so fingers crossed I can make it. Would love to hear how you find the remap as I've always been curious about those so could be next mod I make (although not until next year at the earliest after this expenditure :D )

@api330 Dudley at Wraptor customs sourced all of the parts for me so not sure exactly where he got the tips from but all of the carbon fibre parts were sourced and fitted by him. Would really recommend him if anyone's looking for work done - https://www.wraptorcustoms.com/ (He's got some videos on YouTube too of past cars he's worked on, which is how I found him, and said there should be one up of the work he did to mine in the next few months).
He's up by Birmingham way so was a 2 hour drive up from London but definitely worth it.

DaddyDarren seems to have got away with his for years! I do think you need a white front end to put those plates on, though.
