I grew up with my Dad ONLY wanting white cars, i didn't understand it, thought it was the most boring thing on earth.

Now that I am older (mid-30s) I find myself loving the white cars.

So to me, this is clean/different.

Very typical for a European tuner. Personally, Nay.

I love white cars but that is a bit much.....just my opinion. If you like it that is all that matters.....everyone has their own taste.

I like it... but on the roads around me I'd scrape off most of those low hanging parts on the first drive.

The body kit screws up the lines
The wheels are dumb
The black rocker panel stripe is also dumb

It might look fine without all the stripes and white wheels. Definitely would look great without all the body stuff too...

I love the C7 in Arctic White but I don't like that one. Stock looks much better.

It does look a bit "cartoonish". Give me a stock C7 any day...GM did it right.

Carbon Flash Stripes on White looks awesome.

The rest, not so much.

There is enough contrast in the car to me. It looks ok. I would have went with black wheels, but it isn't my car.
