Yes mate it is, though the scratch has nearly come out! Though now there is a small scortch mark in laquer.

Im going to see if someone can touched the rest of the mark in 100% as seen some amazing results on Detailing World, so hopefully will take it out and repair scortch. But its deffinatley not worth getting the wing painted now.

What do you think of the Gear Knob posistion? Looks awful to me but I've been told it's more natural? Stunning car mate.

It took me about 10 mins to get used to it, and yeah as you say, its just were you want it to be and driving any other car seems weird having to reach "all the way down there" for the gear stick lol

SNAP.. The Gearstick Position is just right. It's right there next to your hand , hardly need to move away from the wheel. feels totally natural after a while.
