I have been looking at your windscreen and I must say that I prefer it over the later wide chrome trim. Did you use the later S/ S130 windscreen or something from another car?

The windscreen is a Plus 2S windscreen I believe. However the trim used was a creation that my windshield installers came up with. The found the broad chrome plastic trim too difficult to work with, and sourced another material. Only 17mm in width vs 24mm in the original material. Very happy with the lean look.
Keeps your attention on the car. Cheers!
