what do you think


Did you take off the tires and paint the whole wheel? Paint or powder coated?

How about calipers? Take them off? Paint or powder coat?

How did you do the lower mirrors in black?

Think about doing the exhaust tips in black or same as wheel color?

Have a picture of the rear of the car?

You can say that its for yourself all you want, but you really just want everyone else to think you have a C4S...which is, frankly, pathetic.

Let it go. There has been enough bashing does it really make you all feel better to try to shame him. He posted, took his hits gracefully, don't be aholes, go back to bashing PDK or MT owners.

the wheels they don't take the tire completely off, but they dismount the side near the lip, everything is painted, this guys painted my wife cayenne wheels 2 years ago, and no signs off pealing

the brakes, the paint them on the car

the lower part of the mirror they cover the rest of the car with paper

i am not really into black chrome tips, maybe they will grow on me, right now I am happy with the chrome ones

will post a pic of the rear later

to answer your questions

i just think it looks good, or like you say the 4 normally looks very lonely

and if I wanted to fool people into thinking it was an S, it would be very easy, as the car looks 100% as an S

but that is not the case, I have posted the car on several BASE threads as I am the proud owner of a C4,

dont make such a fuss, it's just a fu...ing sticker

thanks for you comments

The interior is gorgeous - that's a lovely color combo for the grey exterior.

Nice spec! Cheers on getting rid of the rectangular exhaust tips, I couldn't wait to get rid of mine. Jeers on the "S" sticker, I would've left the S off. Interior looks great, and the 3rd pedal is wonderful.
