The wheel centers are self leveling………

I’ve fitted sumps underneath the bonnet with small drains . It all allows the bonnet carpet to go back ( Just)

The blue calipers look really good, suits the car. I went for a "low key" look but I thing they compliment the car well.

Yeah they do look good. If the blue wasn't my thing i was going to repaint them a similar colour.

Looks great - I’ve asked around locally for people to do mine (I have no real facility to take wheels off other than driveway) but can’t get any takers. What specific blue paint have you used?
