ha ha ha, Edward Toolhands ftw. :lol:

That looks awesome dude.
The powdercoating is breathtaking.
I bet it handles as good as it looks too. :evil:

Good work! It looks great on the ATS Cups too... it just needs a rear spoiler to set if off... oops wait a minute... :lol:

I will most likely see Chris at the BKV in a couple of weeks so hopefully he can bring it a long :)

It handles just as good as it looks! And for the people with a different taste for wat is beautifull (or without any taste at al): It handles way better than it looks... :lol:

The yellow Koni's are set to half their stiffness and the comfort is still amazing. Both the comfort and the handling are way better than the red Koni's on the stiffest setting on my dark grey hatch. The yellow koni's @1/2 feel softer but the effect on the handling is about twice as big compared to the red's. Less jumpy. I would advise yellow's over red's to anyone. Well worth the extra pennies...!

I love the ATS CUPs too. I was thinking of painting them the same white as the car when I boutht them, but the black is growing on me.
I'm thinking of taking the black-white theme to another level with this car. Maybe add some red pinstriping on the rims...
Can't wait for the spoiler lip and the bodykit to go on...!

It's solidly 80's, never seen something so 80's!
it seems to have the aura of a merc 500SL, ... or maybe thats just me?

I think the stance and the Black wheels make the car look quite aggressive.
Maybe white wheels on a white car might look a bit more modern and 'boy racer' ish.

I think the combo at the minute looks great. :D
you dont see many BLACK ats cups.

I like that comparison...! :D
My goal was always to keep it in the 80's. No shiny blinbling rims, just period tuning.
