Stevie. Yes we are in Bayside Brisbane. We were able to order BO back in March or so. We ordered the car before there was even an Australian configurator. Our dealer had to use a german site.

And yes, those plates aren't cheap. $2300 for that combo. Nothing compared to the $125000 for the car itself though

I'm usually not a fan of black on black but that looks so good!

The plate is about 4mm thick. Probably the low res pic making it look like a sticker.

I really love the look of this car from the rear and rear 3/4. But I'm still not sold on it from the front end. I think it's the way the bonnet drops away so much at the front. Other than that it's an amazing car in every way.

Also kinda wish I went for +25 offset instead but the wife is happy so I'll leave it be.

Can you take a pic that shows how flush the wheels are with the fenders?

Still looks great.

You didn't reply about spacers so I'm going to assume none were needed for this wheel setup? Is that correct?

No spacers required. As you can see the guards can easily take another 7mm of poke which +25 would give. But driving behind the car the stance still looks great. Pulling half a degree of camber out would probably achieve the same result.

That looks pretty darn flush at the face of the wheel. Like you say maybe another 5mm or so, although then you start to have other issues.
thank you for the pics
