This is a beauty guys, had the pleasure to see this car in real life, the photo's don't even do its justice, even nicer in real. A proper 'german' modded car with pulled fenders, nice wheels, perfect stance of the car and close fitment.

Thanks for the nice comments! I am going to get some better pics, I don't like these. I did leave out the resonator delete, which has been done. I would like to do headers, but I cannot justify the cost vs gain. Pointman- you got me, good eye. Yes, the badges are slightly lower, as there was a very small scratch I was covering up. Gramma_Benz- I will get some more pics up. I cannot take the credit, done by the previous owner. It is a C/F spoiler, they taped off and just exposed a strip of C/F. I love it as well- subtle but attractive. I am a huge F1 fan, and like C/F accents. I will be redoing it, as the paint work is not flawless.
I have owned many nice cars, shows etc... Everytime I park my C32, I cannot help but turn around and look as I walk away.
