Good effort, should be good wiht the new engine. I think I preferred the old wheels and not keen on the cream centres. Oh and why Audi badges?

[Leonard 0]

I'm not super keen on the wheels either, or the headlight nozzles! The paintwork looks amazing though, I know how good a polished up red C can look cos I've got one!
