Car is just back from the workshop after a few little mods. I have to say I think it looks better (a little mor agressive and a bit more nodern). Dare I ask what anyone else thinks? :)

Like the calliper colour, but I’m not sold on the vertical slatted grille. Sorry, the flow lines of the car lend themselves to horizontal slats there aesthetically.

Callipers :)
De-Chrome :)
Grille :(

Were the callipers removed ? They look great .
Always better without the chrome strips , not sure why they were ever fitted, Notice the “Face lifted” car doesn’t have them.

Like one or two others I’m not a fan of the grille but I like the colour of the calipers. It’s giving me ideas for my coupe. I’ve already de-chromed mine.

Just to give a so far unpopular opinion I do like the grille. :) Have attached a side by side comparison.
I feel that the calliper colour is too subtle though, and if changing from the standard colour I would go full on red.
P.S. Over 50's generally have good opinions. :D

Generally, I like the Panamericana grills but never sure they suit the C207 - sorry!

Seems to give the car a “Wider” stance, or is it my mince pies :D.

If it makes you happy, who cares what I think! :D
That made me smile....but there is a lot of truth in it.
I will usually take note of others opinions on things.....unless it is anything to do with my car and how it looks, then it is only my opinion that matters. :D
