letitbe and BonitaCobra,

Well you can always redrill the holes in the license plate brackets and move it up higher like I did. Then it clears the plate. I still had to notch my license plate frame to fit over the handle! The original way is nuts. Apparently they don't know what size plates we have here in the U.S.

The wheel is great for big guys to fit under, but I am not sure I really like the looks. It does make it very easy to spot a BDR though! I think it sticks out too high from the dashboard. Oh well, just my opinion. Also, I've had alot of people ask what kind of wood is so orange in color. I told them it comes from the rare South African layrubberis tree! Ha!

I think it has just about the best profile of any replicas. In fact I like the way it looks better than the originals. Especially true around the rear wheels. The bodywork seems to cover more of the lower front portion of the tire than the original. Also, when you adjust the suspension pretty low, it gives a really nasty look to the whole car.
