Rally, are we going to see your graphite rewinds on your DS/S when it arrives? I'm thinking of this for mine.

so, we are thinking of doing black/red Rota Group N wheels and getting CR mirror caps for our DS/B MCS on order. Add the JCW leather dash with red stitching and get the piping on the English Panther Leather seats dyed red to match. Maybe some sort of red graphic on the roof. Sound good or bad?

Sounds hot. It'll certainly be unique. Don't know about the red roof graphic though. You gotta show us this one if you do it!

Nothing else planned at the moment...the next step in performance and red-ibility would be the JCW brake kit.

This was becoming dangerously close to falling off the first page! Can't allow that

Nothing too striking about this shot; just the simplicity of it.

Proves you don't need a bunch of fluff to show the beauty of a DS/B car!



My apologies if you've seen it before - unless you're a non-DS owner

I think it's wild that I have looked through this whole thread and still have not seen a DS just like mine. Anyone else out there a DS/B with the exterior chrome package and 17" S Lites?
