Default Pictures of my "new" baby

After 4 "very long" weeks I finaly got my car back from the body shop. Those guys did an unbelievable job for me
They managed to convince the insurance that a complete repaint is a must because it's possible to see some difference in colour.....
So they took the car completely apart and repainted it. The result is just awesome
They also installed the spil grill and the turbo S scoops, the visual effect is really different. The car looks brand new, is rust free and has e meaner look than before.
I decided never to sell this car!
Apparently this is the only NB in Vesuvio with an 3.8 engine ever made?

As you can read I'm excited like a little kid

Regards

Here are the first (very bad) pictures.
I promise that I'll take pictures when the weather is nice.

Ciao

Very nice. I like the contrasting split grill with Vesuvio. Vesuvio is a very cool color. I'm glad everything worked out for the best.

Glad to hear everything turned out fine and you are even happier w/ the car now then you were before. Looks good, from what I can tell from the pictures. Post more when you can get it out in the sunlight.

You must be so excited to be able to drive it after that long wait.

Enjoy!

Your car looks great. If I had that car/color/motor combination, I would never sell either. I really like that color, just never have seen one in person.

Looked at your pictures again and had to say it again. Yours is one of the nicest cars IMO on this board. Glad to see it back in great shape.

Talking

Thanks for all the kind words
I only have the car back for a few days now and I'm already thinking what the next mod could be
My girlfriend says that I have a severe case of rennlist disease

Now I'm thinking to add a new steering wheel (momo) and alu pedals

I'm going to take pictures this weekend in the sunlight (not so evident here in Belgium right now).

Regards
