Default Jason's 1984 760 GLE






I cut a coil from the front end, and the wheels are 5 spoke "virgos". I went up to a 205-60-15 and its a 195-60-15 up front. The front got down just right...

looks like an angry volvo, really good,
you have painted also the grill.
that exhaust is tremendous, here in Spain Police would take me to jail, I wish I could, but if you modify your car you get in trouble with the anual inspection
I like it

Thanks! I did the grill and headlight trim. I also have blacked out the fender trim on the drivers side. I still need to do the pass side, and I'm probably going to remove the chrome trim on the roof drip edge. Trying to clean up the look a little. I'll also be tinting the windows someday, and need to get that fog light cover and the front air dam painted. She'll be looking pretty good by then.

Wow that sounds like no fun. There is a safety inspection here but they don't care what you do to your engine and exhaust as long as it can still pass emissions testing, but my car is diesel so no emissions! Yes, the exhaust is rediculus, but sounds amazing. The outlet pipe you are seeing is 4"!!!

Give us same inspections to finland than you have.. Im jealous now..
really.. No fun there either, or safety inspectors will force you to modify everything back.. But everything is allowed as far as police/safety inspector dont notice it.

Man you guys just cant have any fun! Not that I can just go blowing smoke on everyone and not get in trouble. Blow smoke on the police and your being pulled over! They can ticket you for "excessive pollution".

Loosing that coil and dropping the front that couple inches really changed the cars attitude. Besides the Grandma spec wheels i had just weren't doing it for me!

Looks awesome, Jason! I'm really liking the blacked out grille and headlight trim. I did it on my 240 and really like the look as well. What color did you paint those Virgos? Gunmetal? It definitely looks meaner now. I can't wait to see it with tint and a repainted airdam!

I agree, smoking the turn signals and corners would help them blend in and kind of smooth out the look.

The paint is Dupicolor wheel paint in graphite, then clear coated.

Thanks for the compliments!
Jason
