how is your paint in such good condition? was it just well cared for by the PO or did you buff it? really clean looking...only thing i would change is darker trim....and maybe put on the ultraleggeras ...nice job with it.

im extremely anal about it lol
when i wash it i power wash the car first then hand wash, always. often.
waxing is always done by hand and done at least 2 times a year methodically
i bought the car about 5 years ago with 66k miles and it was in pretty bad shape, filthy dirty exterior (Dirt in every possible crevice) and oxidation and just spent literally a month when i got it and did a 6+ step process getting it to my likings... also a few years ago i had all the little dents pulled

Great lookin R. . . . .Get'n my 97 855R ready to give to my daughter for her 16th bday in April. Where's a good place to source a XC grille ?
What's your impression of all your Snabb upgrades ?
Wondering if I should of got koni's instead of HD billy's. always been partial to Bilstein's. Need to source lowering spring's, a rear wing & sway bar's. I figure she'll be pretty well set at that point. car already has new brake's, tire's, fuel pump, T-belt, water pump & head gasket w RBLT head. Her's has 155K on it.

I'm not really feeling that crate grill. It kinda looks unatural to me. Since your car is so damn clean I would keep it all OEM (exterior). I would use the stock grill but get it refinished to a more modern brush aluminum look instead of the ugly chrome.
But damn lovely car you got there, I want that!
