Are the Germans color blind? or am I not progressive enough to like the colors?

I could live with alternating colors on nose, wheels, mirrors, and end-plates. The rest will be hard to swallow.

Although it is painted, the part can be easily replaced for a black colored part as seen on the GT3

Seriously, I really do not like gold or red accents.

Certainly you will be ably to spec out the wheels, mirror, mouth and rear wing in either white or black and throw the decals in the garbage..

No I read it is just the final ratio that is shorter, not the first 5 gears.. Hmm.. Anyone selling a nice silver or white track ready MKI RS?

Oh man, I hope it looks better in person. I have one on a dealers queue, but changed my mind, so far.

in 1970 an employee for Chrysler in the design studio wasnt given the position he wanted so he purposely designed the ugly black billboard stripe as seen on the 1971 CUDA complete rear quarter panel in spite.

perhaps this stripe combo is a result of a simular feud between the family of Porsche and Volkswagen.....

-10 to the lipstick. First saw the pictures on a German forum and thought I had misread the post as pshopped. Not a fan.

Stuff like this always grows on me, I'll give it time. I don't like the lipstick. The fender stuff is fine, it was on the carrera CS among other cars.
