Is that what it was?

I thought it was the front edge of a cap! You've got better eyes than me. :

Yeah, if I work hard on the car sooner or later I sweat - and having drops drip onto the car when you're trying to final-buff is a real drag!

Isn't that car supposed to be black?

atomic80 · 4th March 2002, 18:51

I think that it IS black.

I took these shots the last week, I was trying out a new polarizing filter.

Hey Oak,

Is that a new C4S with aftermarket wheels and wing? Nice!

Just kidding.

For many people, part of the Turbo's allure is its exclusivity in engine and in body. At least the C4S doesn't get the Turbo's rear wing...

WOW!!

That is a great show Oak! I guess I am used to seeing all the nice shots on black cars. I wonder why that is?

Do you have any more pictures?? Maybe a side or front shot?

Here is one of my favorite side shots, I just finished a week long cutting and polishing job on the paint. It really brought out the metallic out of the Arctic Silver.

Very nice job, Oak.

I took the liberty of manipulating your image a bit to see what your car would look like with a set of HRE wheels. Hope you don't mind.

BTW, it looks like either your lenses or filter isn't capable of handing the superwide shot..there's vignetting on the corners of your pictures.

Personally, If you like the 5 spoke look, the new HRE's with the Reversed Dropped Centers look much nicer. The ones you have in your pics are a little dated and old for the newer Turbos, and look better on a BMW. IMHO
