It's swapped. Traded brickster a minty white 945 turbo with nice upgrades and I restained his new shop for him as part of the dealio.
 
I like the anthracite coluumbas. They were the option for a person who didn't want such a harsh riding R with 17 inch wheels. Just bought the Ard blue tune 4.4 ecm. Wow 32 mpg.
 
Very well, good point made there. You plan on repairing that grille? Also euro corners would look good.
But again, just "would" look good, your car looks really good as-is.
