Very nice indeed.  :) But isn't your car a left hand drive and if so you should be standing on the other side of car.  ;D  :D

You are probably right m8, but I liked how the driver side looked with the reflections and I jsut didnt want to stand in the way, so I decided to run around the other side... and I think that shot looked better.

I cant wait to get the other shots, with the HIDs on...

No, I know I am still waiting as well... I will repost thou as soon as I get them.

I am glad you guys like the car, I try to keep her as clean as I can, its quite a head turner around here as its extreemly rare.

This week she will receive new treatments under the body, and also a window tint but havent decided on which darkenss yet?

Maybe some of you will recommend me a tint film? was thinking 32% all around and a 22 in the rera window?  that sound good?

Most likely I am gonna drive it untill late november or first snow... and then it will get cleaned up and put away at least untill April or May when I get back from Germany.  

I have a few other plans for it and the fact that I will be going to Germany will give me a chance to supply myself with parts needed for the planned upgrades...

In a mean time I have another car which is equiped with bad ass snow tires and that will be my daily driver through december.

I am happy to report that the I have clocked around 45K milese on it in two year ownership and the car was nothing but fun, absolutely no problmes just oil changes and gas.  
The only thing I had issues with was the tie rod ends which I got for cheap and replaced myself and jsut had to get alignment done.  
I plan to sell it next year and move up a notch, got my target on M3 or M5 or even a GTO or a CTS-V....  ::)  But I will keep you guys updated.  
If anyone is intersted in the car let me know....

They came from an Opel Astra OPC as a summer wheel option package...

They are 18x7.5 with 245/40-18 Continental tires and they are extreeemly light weight... should be more readily available in Europe.  In the US the package is availabale but no one wants to spend 1600$ on summer wheels and tires so... you see where I am going with these... Extreemly rare and expensive for replacement.

You guys should have better luck out there with these...
