Only change id make is plain alloy snowflakes rather than esp type gold. - they draw your attention to the rear wheels.

And a plastic wind deflector for the drivers door like all the old guys have.

Pretty cool car none the less.

They should prank someone that owns the same model/paint/interior combo since new and swap the keys and car over. Imagine Nana coming back from Bingo in it.

That's Gold, just hope nana doesn't mistake the accelerator for the brake while reversing out of the bingo carpark.
