I just love white. And your license plates are much better than ours. And the seats are great. Great car - congrats.

Huge congratulations! Do you really have that car in Lagos, Nigeria? Where can you properly enjoy driving the car? I can only imagine that driving it on normal streets there might be just a little bit crazy!

Congrats! Yes unfortunately I had that exact Fabspeed intake on my car at one point until I saw the light and went with the Dundon carbon unit which seals correctly. The OEM one is also perfectly fine. Just get one that seals to the decklid properly.

Enjoy the car, she looks otherwise ready to rock!

Congrats. This is where it all began for me and I totally lost my mind for the hobby and as a Porsche enthusiast with that white rod antenna 7.1.

Got loads of alpine roads and stretches where the car can really muscle up and prove it's value!

Surely going out! Ive searched and the BMW and Mercedes antennas might fit, as well as other aftermarket shorter rods.
