Welcome. We are much more civilized and slow paced. No flame suit is required here and there aren't the scam artists ready to sell you something that does not exist.

Welcome to Rennlist. You'll notice that the style is different and more mature and thoughtful here.

Welcome!

My guesses:

1. Additional side markers in the front bumper
2. Painted wheels
3. Painted targa hoop

1 Fog lights should be chrome surround not black
2 Targa bar should be silver not white or black
3 muffler tip should be chrome not black/extended
Otherwise pretty decent example cool narrow mid year

Are the chrome sugar scoops the only chrome on the car?

How in the world are we to answer such a subjective question as "what is a little wrong with __x"?

All we can say is what we don't like 100% from our own point of view. For all I know, you like those painted wheels, when I think they look "meh".

For the purposes of improving things, I'd start with the ride stance (lower), and change the BMW looking seats to something slimmer and more 911. I'd probably ditch the wheels and get wider Fuchs, and lose the sugar scoops and go with H4s. But again, it's not my car.....
