Black alloys look good on that.

Any more details on the car? Assume it's a turbo?

I have to say that it has to be the first one I've seen in white and looks to be in great condition (love the cars by the way, I'm still persisting with my '98 pearlescent Tahiti Blue Coupe). Not a fan of the black alloys though, mind you that has more to do with my general dislike of them, that and the fact I very much prefer the silver 15" five spoke Blaze alloys the '97+ Coupes came with (and are a lot easier to clean as well).
thought I'd spray them gives it more attitude lol, only around 5 white turbo tomcats made

One of the early ones with the pre-grill front valance...

Looks like it's missing the black corner splitters though..? Or is it just the angle..?

Will have mine back running shortly... biggrin
Just the angle all the splitters there front and back

I had a 220 coupe back in the day, big end bearings went the day after I bought it which kind of put a dampener on things. It was a lovely car though and so undervalued for the performance.
They certainly were, and still are a bit today, but I think people are realising this now which is either a gd or bad thing lol, depends on how you look at it it
