Here's mine.
SS Header ($750 a deal, DIY install), Magnaflow cat ($300), Areo Turbine AR20 resonator ($100) (to get rid of the farty sound)
and Remus muffler.($800 new but got mine used)
That's a lot of money just to get a different exhaust note. Oh well. Perhaps a little more power too.

Get things right after the flooding event.

My coupe is half dead... but now thanks to the Almighty it lives to the fullest again! thanks to the very skilled people in the workshop the coupe works wonderfully again and after a sharp object just punch thru my rear michelin pilot super sport tire So this is a couple of things i have done.


The coupe meets Royce


I removed the fake Side Air Vent Grille and replaced it with "2.3 Kompressor" side badge


The Coupe meets its Porsche rival (not really)


and...i repaired the Fog-lamp, double check and replace the rear tire along checking the whole car after the flooding events, plus another Spooring & Balancing to keep the car grip in corners

Here's some of the "not-so-important" highlights from July & August with the CL203

I broke my right hand and my rear view mirror is crushed by an idiotic bus driver



My rear wheel were hit by an idiotic motorbike


I successfully put on the side "Kompressor" badge



I took a picture of the beast while she is sleeping



I came across another Coupe owner


and...happy independence day to my Country

Depot finally made headlights for the coupe.
I wrote them a letter once telling them they were stupid for missing out on a
250,000 car market. The next year they appeared.
It's really one of the best mods.
I wish I could get new lenses, used to have the sedan ones on ebay.

Still waiting for full interior pics.
The designo is the one thing that makes your car pretty unique.
