Great looking car. You're going to love the sound of that engine, especially at about 4000 rpms and up!

Unfortunately it was not me
It has been done by an Italian detailer, but I am really happy with the result!

I love it BUT...
I have to bring it back to the stealer on Dec. 27th.
From when they changed spark plugs, thew PSE is not working anymore.
And what really drives me crazy, is that I paid labour more than 100USD per hour

But if this is the scenario, I prefer to pay 120USD in Zurich (CH) where I have at least a better service.
The 100USD per hour was in Milan (IT)

Nice! Welcome to the forums...lots of knowledge here and good talk.

I visited Switzerland once...Lucerne....and had a blast. I was there with the company I worked for at the time named PAiSTe. They make cymbals and gongs.
