The carbon fibre badges came with the centre caps from Pacer pete.

Sorry if this sounds odd, but I don't want to post prices on here. You can PM Carlos for details, he is a member on the zone.

I have seen the plans, We were discussing it at the BMW day at Ace. Can't wait to see it all finished, Will look fantastic.

The finish on the wheels looks great, should tie the theme together nicely. :thumb:
