I have mirror caps too but mine don’t look anywhere near as nice as yours.

Nothing I did today, but rather 5 years ago to this day! Today is my 5 year anniversary. The best 5 years of my life, if you exclude the pandemic lol
5 amazing, and relatively trouble free, years outside of: needing a new battery due to the car having sat on the lot for 10 months waiting for me; the known early issues of the faulty crank case pressure sensor, fuel pump, and evap canister; and needing a new tire every few months thanks to NYC roads (lol!) Oh and a spider having nested in my car thanks to my selling dealer that I haven't been back to since (I made a post about it at the time).
Here's to another 5 amazing years of glorious sounds, crazy accelerations, insane handling, constant looks/gawks, and the feeling of owning (one of) your dream cars! <3
EDIT: Here's a photo from when I picked her up; look at those wheel arch gaps!

EDIT 2: I should add that I'm at 33k miles after 5 years, but 15 of those are from year one alone, meaning I'd be much higher by now if it weren't for: the pandemic; and one of my closest friends, who was a fun/fast road trip away, moving all the way down south.

Thank you!
I think on the Ocra GT, I’ll run into similar issues with looking like there Isn’t a bumper in some lighting since it sits basically right on top of the aero.
But, in most light it adds a subtle aggressive look—it may be something I have to make a bit more permanent though.
I’ve always used VHB and adhesion promoter, these fit a bit differently and require more surface area which really isn’t available. I may have to sand down the edges for a better fitment and use an epoxy.
Upside is it’ll be on Xpel, so, worst case, that bumper piece gets ripped off and replaced. Better than replacing an entire bumper
Dry fit… I really wanted the gold emblem surround to work too; but the piece at the top where it’s most thin always cracks, even with the tiniest amount of VHB. I’ve probably ruined $600 worth of emblem covers. Not ordering another one.
Went to go take a look at the finished powder coat on the Tekkla from @John4C wheels at my dealer currently.
I originally had them in a brushed double gunmetal finish—EVERYONE loved them—I just found that a glossier finish was more in line with what I was looking for, so did a hyper black and they turned out really well for what I’m going for.
I also went ahead and ordered PS4S in 255/295. I was leaning toward the Yoko Neova Advan AD09s; but I drive the Giulia quad in the rain at times (and would like more than 8,000 miles out of them).
Honestly pains me to get rid of the Corsas, I really like them.
The plan is to order more John4C wheels for the 4C and get the AD09s on those.
Any how, a quick gif I took of the updated finish.

Nice job!. Is there any chance to install the Alfa Romeo centercaps on those wheels?.Went to go take a look at the finished powder coat on the Tekkla from @John4C wheels at my dealer currently.
