Yup I’ve seen the white 40th anniversary edition up close and personal at a local meet. Although it looks nice I as it’s not common with the 8, I still prefer the black. My 2nd choice would be the dark/gunmetal grey.

Let’s face it black is just plain and simple mean looking, with a nice kit and wheels it looks like a bully on the road. The white is just airy fairy, more like a hairdressers soft, touchy feely car :P

Travass, good start, but i think with the CF hood, you definitally need some aftermarket wheels as well. The CF hood looks a little out of place being the only visible mod.
