Well it's a 300D so the paint and wing are the equivalent of a fart can exhaust on an old ricer.

Not stodgy enough for you? I don't care for the color scheme, but that wing fairly screams "Race Car!" And those 80's 300D's could run the quarter in like less than 20 seconds, no?

paint it all black, throw on some OZ SuperLeggera wheels drop it 2 inches and un chromify it. Then you have a diesel cosworth replica.

apart from the paint and the ungodly ugly headlights and the chrome, kinda reminds me of the Mercedes rally car that Mika Hakkinen and James May drove in the TG where May went to Finland to race the Finnish equivalent to LeMons/Chumpcar

I think the headlights might just be vinyl over the stock lights?

I like to organize my spanners in just the right way, so they are all lined up. Is that sisu?

Some paint stripper and a hammer to break the wing apart would set that right pretty quick.
