Cover, clear sides and gutter bridge ordered.

Color matching Rimowa luggage purchased. Supposedly the Lapis Blue is exclusive to Vegas stores so I had to have it. LOL. Bought my wife matching Kate Spade purse. Don't drink and shop in LV.

Ran in an autocross this morning in the wet, then came home and spent three hours detailing the filthy thing :-)

Changed the water pump, serpentine belt and it's 3 idler-tensioning rollers and air filter.

Not the funnest of Sunday afternoons, but it's done.

MWolfe,

Not it is not a Misha tail. That one did not do it for me - did not like the way the inlets were sculpted.

Love the wheels. Can you tell us what brand Fuchs replica you're using?

BILLB128,

Thank you! The Sport Classic is a much better interpretation from the Original Designers!

You can PM me if you want to know where the replicas alloys came from.

Pictures!

Terrytwn, why not share details to allthe brothers here. We complement the way you have personalized your car, maybe you could share how you did it. Yes those wheels look good. Wheel tire combination?
