Wow - $700.00 and it's black! I'll pass. Mine cost $250.00 and a lot of hours of fussin with it. But it's unique.

Thanks you Andy. I'm a little astonished it looks as good as it does, if I do say so myself.
About a year ago I picked up a one-off mesh grill from ebay. It was OK but didn't really hit the spot so I'll go back to the stock 2004 grill with 3 double slats or crossbars in chrome with a chrome...
I wonder if getting hot air out of the engine compartment, say by a hood vent or some extraction/diffuser under the car, would cool things down without needing more or bigger radiators and...
What!
The Phaeton cabbie p-shoppe of it looked pretty good.
I think the only wood steering wheel on a Phaeton in the USA. This has a nice smooth feel to it and gives a good feedback of the road. Not heated but easy to swap the leather one back on next winter....

New headlights with LED daylight running lights and a bit of chrome around the fog lamps. That is all.. (Plus a DVD navigation system.)

Might be a Merc styling cue, but I was emulating the Bentley Flying Spur lower trim actually.
Glad you like my efforts.

Merc. touch? Maybe the added space between the door and front wheel? The lengthened trunk looks a little Camaro to me.

I like...
Were these reviews of the "Top-of-the-line" cars of these brands or just "run-of-the-mill" average sedans???
Well there's an old thread about using Phaeton disc brake air scoops on the RS6. Somewhere hereabouts... They fit with a little modding.

Someone else took that photo. I just borrowed it because it was the perfect angle and I like blue - same color as mine.
Here's another coupe.

Just to give you an ideal how much affect these changes would have. I see an S500 slayer here.
Another view...

It would compete better with the Merc if it was slightly bigger back there, especially if you have the optional refrigerator installed. I really like the lines...
Moving the front wheels 3"...
I love my Phaeton. Now to make it perfect move the front wheels out 3" towards the radiator and lengthen the trunk 3" and your done. I also like a low mounted chrome spear.

Show me one! What do you have in mind??
If they built one. could it sell? A Benrley GT rebadged, and with some reduction in quality or content, to be sold as a Phaeton coupe.

VW needs more sporting cars! A R60 twin turbo Phaeton would be nice!
Looks like the old style Chevy Corvair.
