'99 black 6m vert, blk/red interior. Love the way black looks on a C5, hate the effort in keeping it looking good. Best wishes!

I like it. Especially that silver thing with the extra pulley up high! Less is more.

Keep it BLACK. Griots garage sells a kit that includes every thing you need, from random orbit polishers to all the grits and shine you can imagine. 16 hours later my paint looks brand new (2002).No swirls, no streaks no nuthin' but shine, and lots of compliments.

Mallett did most of the mods on mine. I added the skirts, spoiler, LEDs all round and had it dyno-tuned.

Love my black C5 but it's not easy keeping it clean!

First thing I would do is get nicer wheels, then lower the car (with upgraded suspension). Exhaust and go fast mods after that.....here's my '03 6 speed with all sorts of mods but still more to come
