karmavore Posted November 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 Looks goods, like a modern take on the classic white S1. Clean uncluttered lines. I think the satin finish really helps accentuate and enhance the lines. Thanks! cool, wheels not for me though. They're definitely a statement. Some days they're not for me either. Is it the color or the style that bothers you more?

mr.oogieboogie Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 i think the colour and possibly the wheel design, the offset 5 spokes are a nice design but for me do not do the car and its new paint scheme justice. I thought the black wheels looked better, but thats just my opinion. its If you like it thats the main thing.
