The ME is a beautiful car. My ME has fab speed exhaust, champion wheels, HR suspension lowered to ROW and short shift kit. It feels perfect and the way it should. I love vintage nav! Don't make it all comfy like a Lexus.
I wouldn't do aero either. Car looks great with the clean lines. Porsche actually stashed a ME in their official museum as a classic.

Congrats! Enjoy!

Looks great - congrats! I think the tan with black contrast in the interior is great.

No, the dealer said they would try to clean it but I didn't expect them to go above and beyond. I'm hoping to reduce the spot with some leather cleaner and conditioner (chemical guys).

Thanks, me too. I originally wanted the silver/black combo but after being in the cabin for a few weeks, it really is a great color combo.

Aero kit never interested me. It interrupts the classic shape too much and it'd be much too costly to try and match the chromaflair paint.

Simon it is beautiful, sorry if I missed it, how many miles? I've never been a fan of the M/E (probably the wheels) the color combo inside and out is very nice. Congrats, enjoy in good help.

That's a pretty good deal...

...assuming the suitcase with $50K in cash is still in the back seat.

I have a millennium....some thoughts...

If you enjoy music at all, you're gonna have to go aftermarket. The hifi system is not nearly as nice as the Bose. That's saying something.
Whatever you do, keep the paint factory. Partial resprays will never blend with this color. The color is what makes these cars special.
They look really nice with the 2002 MY 5 spokes...

Bottom line, keep the paint, interior and body factory and don't sweat markers, exhaust and wheels.

I have my millenium for 12 years, TPC turbo and sway bars RUF body kit . Just keep the original parts just in case if you want to go back stock .

How long / how many miles have you had the TPC turbo kit? Any negatives other than price?

Thanks. It has a little under 55k miles.

Do you have a shot of your head unit setup? Yeah, I would never mess with the factory color. Its just too unique and eye catching. As far as wheels, yeah, I'm definitely a fan of the carrera ii's and iii's on these cars. My favorite are the BBS style Sport Classic 2 as well. I've just always liked that BBS look.

That is a really nice setup. Your front bumper is the best looking aftermarket bumper I've seen. Doesn't look out of place at all and really complements the car very well. What was it like color matching to the rest of the car?

To those with ME's how is the wood in your interior holding up?
