    I like it, not exactly what I would do but it's tastefully done. The more I look at it the more I like it really. Good job and welcome to the forum.

    Simon, welcome to the forum

    Did you perform all the work yourself?

    As others have said, it's different from what most of us are used to seeing, but I don't think it's hatefull.

    It looks to me like you had a plan and executed it in a very tasteful manner.

    Tell us more about yourself and the car....

    I agree with the others. Looks like you did a great job! I actually used to have an pearl white SL with a black roof kind of like yours (rest of the body was stock, though)

    Your vision has come to life, it seems.

    Very good-looking and complete package, Simon.
