Well..... it's certainly different!
I don't think I've got the necessary equipment to drive a car with that interior. I do like it and bet it gets people talking!

Absolutely gorgeous!!...Daringly distinctive!...I really like the yellow interior...would have been a beautiful contrast, IMO, w/ a black lining!

Cheers mate!

i think yellow brake calipers would look extra good on this car. it would give it a matching effect that i think the interior needs to kind of take the randomness away.


i can’t believe i am suggesting more yellow...

the car is beautiful regardless.

Looks nice. Carlsson is the best IMO.

Don't forget to order the Carlsson Lowering Module! Make it look even nicer.

Looks realy nice. Yellow is fun, but I would make the breaks yellow instead of red. now that would be cool.
