Default Vesuvius

Took a trip through Springfield yesterday, and Michael Willhoit was gracious enough to let me stop in and drool over the Vesuvius C2S. Pictures just don't show off how cool this color is, and the subtle details of the mirrors/door handles being grey. Amazing looking car!

You can see the better pictures from his site http://www.willhoitenterprises.com/inventory.htm

Here are a couple from yesterday:

Thanks Michael!

I've never seen this color in person, but for me any C2S that color would have to have the split grill. That contrasting color for the mirrors, lower front grill openings(was that stock, or did just Macca do a custom diddy?), and split grill are pure sex baby!

Agreed! I like the extended front lip of the Aerokit, but I would for sure ditch the wing and go back to the split grille - I was told the split grill would be the color of the mirrors/door handles, and that would be so sweet.

thanks to Mark Harris, my car is sporting a split grille too!

The steel grey split grille looks perfect since it balances the other color elements. The mirrors/door handles look a little odd on their own.

Too much pinkish / purple in Vesuvius for me. I do like that this car has the black interior though - most I've seen here in the states have grey.
