Kinda bland and boring when stock, great when done up right. The wheels and stance make it (granted this is true for a lot of cars). Damn you !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! from bringing this one to my attention. Do want quite badly, though it would be a shame to use it in a Canadian winter.

Original paint at over 600k miles (!).

Bland, boring, blue. I'd rock it.

Minty fresh rebuild. So clean.

Usefull and it looks neat.

Custom [staggered] steel wheels. Nice.

The only way that this could possibly be better would be if it were a wagon.

DO WANT.

The US market headlights are so much better looking than the Euro ones! They give the front a more aggressive look, which the beige Euro model lacks completely.

Referring to these?

I'd prefer these, it looks cleaner, simpler but then again it might just be a case of 'you want what you can't have'.

I think they look a bit too simple, which matches the generally beige image they have here.

Saw this beauty the other day on ebay. GAWD the want is strong.

I just bought this:

The build above will serve for some degree of inspiration.

I loved my 244 turbo, here is a picture of it lowered with basket weave wheels. Long gone by now :(

15" or 16" off of a BMW? Good look for the car. Kudos, too bad it's gone. Maybe you'll have another one day.

16" from the 7 series and 5x108 to 5x120 1" adapter/spacers. The car was lowered about 3 inches with shortened shocks to help with the ride on the rubber bandy 40 series tires. Had to work on the fenders a bit but I ran these for about 6 months before selling them with the car. If I was going to do it again I would have run 225/50/16 tires as the ride was a little harsh.
