There are also modern 18 inches on the coupe Dotz SP5 alloy wheels in a gray look that goes perfectly with the steel gray paintwork of the body (Aston Martin Casino Royal) harmonize, and give the classic a certain resemblance to the famous Eleanor Mustang. There is one behind it new brake system with slotted brake discs. That too Chromium on the vehicle is completely new and high-gloss again. Now let's get back to the parts that come from a motorcycle. This applies to, among other things filler cap, which comes from a Victory bike, fits seamlessly into the dynamic line of the Audi, and does not look like a foreign body at all.

He also owns a Custom Airride chassis from Airrex, which makes the driving experience much better than in a conventional model from 1972, because it now literally sticks to the road, and looks great when you let it down to zero bar. No matter how high you set the Airride, the Coupé is an eye-catcher in any case, and probably also an absolute crowd puller at various tuning meetings.
