Having 17s on the front and 18s on the rear really suits the body lines of my black C4. I kept the old wheels, though. They are stored on my garage ceiling (yes, on the ceiling).
You can see by the bottom of the wheel well that this car's been around the block a few times. I touch it up, but this is a daily driver for me. As my little old grandma used to say: Love marks!
One of the reasons I still drive this car: a long, long hood. Other reasons: rumble rumble, slam the shifter into gear, rumble rumble, quick braking, rumble rumble, low to the ground, rumble rumble, blacked out windows, rumble rumble, tight cornering...did I mention rumble rumble? Just starting
Had the windshield replaced a little over a year ago. Wow! My wife twisted my arm to do it, and I'm glad she did! While sitting inside, it takes 15 years off the car; it's that good! You can see the crisp edges of the black-out around the inside of the glass.
The nice thing about updating the bumper caps on an '85 rather than an later 80's model was getting to put the brake light in the bumper rather than on the hatch. A much sleeker look!
They make 'em newer, and they make 'em faster. But every time I crank 'er up and listen to 'er rumble, I say to myself, 'This is not the day to sell. Maybe next year.' Well, next year has never arrived! Ha! I love this car!
This car really rocks with the dark tint and all-black paint. When I'm out, I'll park it and go in a store just so I can come out and walk back up to it. With the synthetic polish I use, the original body paint really shines!
