Yeah, like the Interior in that car, the steering wheel really sets it off.

Is a nice car though, the light brows are cack but the rest is pretty decent, suits them alloys.

the guy is a member of the R19 WORLD forum. he was recently stopped by the Austrian police and had to put most of his car back to standard parts again (ride height, wheels, etc.). afaik he wanted to start over again, this time by registering everything in the first place.
appearantly Austria is even more strict when it comes to modding cars. and I tought Germany was bad. you need to have an allowance/piece of paper for almost anything that you can put on a car.
modding a car without these things mean that your registration is void and even worse, the insurance may refuse to pay.

maybe this country isn't so bad!
imagine being told to put your car back to standard especially once you've got to that stage. how do things stand with head work? i know it's difficult to tell but say you do get caught and it's found that you've uprated cams etc is this illegal?

theoretically it is. but head work is quite difficult to find out. but things like custom made induction kits etc. could be a problem should a copper decide to have a look under your bonnet.
still, head work would need to be included in your papers because it affects the performance numbers (power especially) of the car.

Headwork is untraceable to a certain extent
