Default Baby got a new hat and shoes

I initially bought the base without the panoramic roof thinking I wanted a more uniform color. But the more I looked at the car, I just felt like with the matching roof, there was just too much color and wanted to break it up a bit. So I had the roof, 3rd brake light and antenna wrapped in 3M gloss black.

The 18 inch Velas that come on the base are just too undersized for this car. I came across a set of 20 inch Gyrodynes for a price I couldn't pass up on.





When I first got her. Note the non panoramic roof.





3M Gloss Black wrapped roof





20 inch Gyrodynes.

You may recall I did the Gyrodyne switch on my white convertible, and it's a great improvement in the look. I think handling is sharper too, and no question there's more grip.

I like the roof in black as well on a white car, and the nice thing is you can always easily go back with a wrap.

Let me know what you think about the difference between the 18's and 20's.

I agree the 18" Vela's do absolutely nothing for me...and seeing your car makes me so glad I added the pano roof to my order.

Personally, I find white a bit boring, but I think the pano roof (or your wrapped version) really adds a lot to it. Looks great!
