Another view of the rear.  I might end up painting the stainless panels; haven't made up my mind. No welding, only rivets.  Ansa style rear exhaust tips.

Such a beautiful car, such an awful rear end treatment.  I raised the plate, deleted the reverse lights, replacing with less. Decided to brush the chrome between the lights.

I wanted to give the rear of the car that  "tapered" S1 appearance.  There was NO welding.  Rivets. Brushed stainless. Original chrome centerpiece was reversed.
