After a couple of months, week here week there I've finally got finished on Phase 1 of the project I've been working on.

When I got there the walls were all over the place, even though they were flat and plumb according to the builder. Had to strip all boards and redo stud work.

Walls tiles are 1m x 330mm Porcelanosa and Italian flag tiles are 200x200mm Vogue special order from Italy. Grout 113 Mapei cement grey. Silicones for joints on flag were from Sealants and Tools Direct (RAL colours available).

The floor was reasonably level, well only 20mm out between high and low points, cheers Mr Builder. Floor tiles are 400x400mm Porcelanosa with Mapei 113 grout again.

All car logos and letters were sourced from America, CNC cut from acrylic and sheet aluminium.

I had the red cabinets bespoke made by my supplier in gloss red to match mirror frames and roller shutters

Thought it might appeal to you Bri, this is a drop in the ocean for this guys car collection, he's got 11 Ferraris, the two on the back wall are both worth over £1m each but he won't sell. The Porsche was delivered today, cost him £150k and it's already worth £625k as its so rare, they are nearly all special or limited editions

ops, good. Bravo john .
How have you found vogue?
latest that I have posed, not too good

Sizes were fine on all three colours so no problems with joints meeting.

My tile supplier deals with the Vogue factory in Italy, tiles are normally 2 weeks from ordering, I'm looking for yellow tiles for next phase
