More pictures, please! What is that hardware on your front license plate location? A bracket I assume?

wow!...very nice car. I thought modifying car laws in France are strict?? When I was in Nice and Paris, the only modification I found on any cars were altezza tails.

the French laws are not as much restrictive as you could think...

yes,my philosophy is that all the unecessary must be get out :)

i'm planing to swhitch with CF doors panels!

for the moment,i'm thinking about the next level of my engine...
