Finally put my Stella Corse rims on

Here are some more pictures.

Unfortunately, I've had them lying in the garage the entire summer, but finally got the time to put on the rubber. Had them painted silver as S111 sent me the wrong color due to wrong labeling from the manufacturer (black)
I haven't had time to put on the Nitrons Sport yet but i can safely say that the A048 creates a totally different car compared to the AD07. Braking is now just incredible. I've always felt that the wheels were undersized up front, but now with the Stellas and the 048, the car is behaving the way it should have from the very start. Almost impossible to have the ABS kick-in. I don't understand people who say there is not much difference between the sports pack and the standard setup. To me it feels like night and day on the rubber alone.

Nonetheless, as for the Stellas, I think they look great. Now the front rims are more or less aligned with the wheel liner, which gives a much more aggressive appearance.

As for the projects this winter, I’m going to have the headlights repainted to become matt chrome, and not silver as they are now (the paintshop I used didn’t know how to paint chrome, and therefore came up with the silver color)

Secondly I’m going to replace the cheap plastic grilles with black mesh.

Finally, I’m considering replacing the grilles in engine lid with transparent plastic (more or less the same way as a 360 Modena)…

And, of course, I’m going to have to have the front clam repaired as my girlfriend managed to hit the side of the garage door

That’s the plans at least, time is the constraint…
