The grille changes the whole look of the car for the worse, would not be happy with that on the front. I would stick with the V8 wheels as well. These wheels are too bling like the 997 turbo wheels. Must be a German thing!!

SPOILT THE CLASSIC LOOK OF THE V8 IMO.. WHEELS ARE :dung:

Have you seen the "oval" shape on the back end? whats that all about?

Prefer the cleaner look of the V8 NOT that i,d say no to the V10 though.. :lol:
