Funny enough....I will sell the rear lamps for cheep money...Instead I bought the US model with the side marker, looks exotic here in Europe...
How does your side markers look in the front ( inside look ) "over there"

If you simply must go to bigger 18" or just different, Speedlines have a similar look, but you need to find a place to store your 17" targa wheels...forever!

OT: Speaking of Sweden, we just rented "Så som i himmelen / As it is in Heaven" and man, was that a great movie! Michael Nyqvist was even better in that than he was in the "Dragon Tattoo" series. The Swedish films that make their way to the U.S. seem consistently good!

Drove a targa today and although it wasn't on my purchase list possibilities before today it is now. I loved it. Sounds like I am in the minority though as I really didn't care for the factory wheels at all. What did you decide on yours? Replace and store the OEM's or just keep the OEM's on?

Love the color and Congrats on your purchase.

I was iffy on the Targa wheels too, but the more I look at them, the more they grow on me. I was looking to get BBS LMs in 18inch, but have decided to stick to stock for now.

-Yes I desided to stick with the OEM Wheels, but most lower the car, maby that would look better. I have 2 sets off the Targa wheels. Anyone interested?

Congratulations and welcome to a even smaller subculture. ;p Love the color! Once you lower it, you may find that the wheels fill the openings better. I did. Hopefully you will also enjoy the "the best of both worlds".

Cheers and best of luck.

Silver is okay, but it's not the coolest color for a Targa...
