How frustrating - no side-on pics anywhere! From what I can see it looks absolutely beautiful. Cut'n'shut in the front floorpan & longer doors? I might do that with mine. Then I'll be able to get my overdrive in there. :wink:

Yes, and what a bloody mess that looked! Each to his own. Sorry Geoff!

Interesting to see that that car was lengthened by 4 1/2 inches not the full 9 inches ( :wow: ) of the 2+2 and S3.

Yes, everyone to their own. The modern view is to have darkened windows in cars and black radiator grills and wheels. To me that just makes a car look heavy and unwieldy, yet it's the latest fashion. One I don't subscribe to. Same for low profile tyres, they just emphasise the bumps and who ever takes their car to the extreme on our roads that the difference between 18" and 20" wheels can be noticed? Yet salesmen and manufacturers love them :shrug: :roll:
