Most of them that don't like it are on this forum. Not nearly as much detest for it recently as when it was put on air. Think they are warming up to it ;)

The reflections and the highlights in the first picture is making it look like a virtual 3D car than the real thing. :cool:

What do the door handles say?

And of course would love to see it on the Bugatti wheels without being slammed, but that's me :o:
Wow they are like $3800 on eBay.

There are a set of bugatti splits on ebay? Any links?

So is sitting with the exact stance of the jagermeister dtm car is slammed in a negative way?

https://jasonsgrainofsalt.files.wordpre ... e30dtm.jpg

Running centre lock bbs 18s tucking the rear wheel slightly and pretty much meeting the arch with the front wheel.

My car is sitting how BMW intended before softening it up for road use.

My ride height is actually a bit higher than that of the dtm car and height adjustable from within the car to help me over speed bumps and the like.
