Well your breaking new ground here among german car enthusiasts. For most german afficianados, this kind of thing is anathema and considered profane. This is "rice" territory your embarking into, but hey it's all self expression. Personaly I hope you do it and post lots of pictures to make lots of uptight german types go nuts. I'd say if you go with that theme, do some other flashy
things just so people know your serious about a statement and not just confused.
