It's one thing to make "improvements" to Scorps but going overboard like this,
destroying it's originality, = pimp my ride. Destroys it's mkt. value as well.
Unless it's digi-cam color shift [or my monitor] that ain't Rosso Corsa, YUK!

The standard of the work itself looks ok, but talk about a Tarts Boudoir:'( Each to his own!

beek,

No, no--you've got to go with matte gold.

Matte paint is, of course, the hottest thing; matte black 911 Turbos, matte black Bentley Continental GTs with 22" chrome rings, matte black Porsche Panameras. But it gets better. The Panamera is a bloated shape that looks less bloated in silver or dark colors. In white, it looks like a beluga whale with alloys. But yesterday, I saw a Panamera in matte gold--bloatedly trashy beyond all possibility of description.

So gold sounds great but, I'd do the body in matte gold, and save the gold plating for the wheels.

Not for 1 2nd did I think of visiting beloved cousins I havn't seen in 50 or so yrs away over on Staten Island (approx 3000 miles away from Heidelberg & just as cold as cold Heidelberg) & then...since I am in the neighborhood, just for fun, popping-over to see this 1 ova-kind Lance. Lord Forbid !! What would the Neighbors think !

I've just checked price-progression & am satisfied that there is little to none of that nonsense occuring, thnk hvns. I finally noticed the 'wish-price' !

2bad the seller got the comma in wrong place !!! or is a friend of Timothy Leary !!!

If it doesn't sell, in Little Italy it will remain; I hope !! I hope locked-away in a dark-garage , so no one can see it !

What a shame this car is; for anyone who appreciates what it could / should be ! However, it isn't mine, so what am I complaining about ? & besides, maybe the seats are comfortable !!
