Now that looks tasty.
Look stunning in standard form, seems silly saying that about the GTR, but this one has took it up a level.
Offen look at these on pistonheads, but can safely say they are well out of my price range lol.
Well done on your vision for modifying the car, any more plans for it?

Thanks, i want to get a dry carbon duckbill boot and go wingless and a dry carbon roof. Duckbill is like this one but with a 6kx6k dry carbon weave http://i700.photobucket.com/albums/w...nstalled13.jpg although i'm not fully commited to it yet since the OEM spoiler is functional. The duckbill claims to have equal downforce but reduced drag....i'm not sure i buy that!
You've got good taste!

Graham, it's a really hard decision it's either the ducktail or a dry carbon OEM spoiler.....I go to bed committed to going one way and wake up wanting to go the other!

Thanks mate, I tweaked the design originally the bolts were on the outer rim. BC liked it so will be releasing it as a range called HB-05S shortly

its the same with the wheels and goes so much further than the car 
I am tempted to wrap the spoiler for (as all trim is wrapped already) and then decide

It never crossed my mind to wrap the spoiler....that's kind of best of both worlds....heavily swayed toward the duckbill now....

If I went carbon boot, I would hae to either wrap it or change all the other bits to carbon as well - otherwise it will look a touch odd.

I can't help but think any of that stick on carbon sh1te would just cheapen a very lovely car. Leave it as is mate and concentrate on the proper bits. The bits you have done so far are expensive, quality ann adds to the car.
Can't help but think carbon for the sake of carbon looks sh1te.
Also there's only one car a ducktail belongs to and thats a 2.7 RS.

Not for the sake of carbon, i really like the look. The 6k 4x4 weave is of an OEM quality and finished in matte i think will work well with the rest of the car....

Up to you mate, your car. Personally I think it looks toss. Lol
Bare carbon, certainly in large sections like that looks cheap & nasty.
Don't give me any of that weight saving schpiel either. The car weighs the thick end of 2 tonne, a carbon boot I like chucking a deck chair off the Titanic!
Lovely car as is IMO.

Lol, 285! Pretty sure Lambos run that sort of size. Bet it helps in the dry though. What's it like in the wet?
Have to say I agree with Frayz a little. It's a cracking looking car as it is. But with the rest of it painted to leave just the spoiler bit carbon like above, it does look quite good, in my opinion.
