    New member w/ new (to me) ZHP!

    Hello,

    I wanted to introduce myself and mostly my new car. After 2 years without a sports car I purchased a 2006 Sparkling Graphite 330ci zhp on Saturday. I posted up in the Southeast section to see if anyone had knowledge of the car, took her for a test drive, and I was hooked. The car has 200,500 miles, if it had said 75,000 I would have believed it. It has a few mods, all Dinan; intake, exhaust, throttle body, front and rear strut tower braces, and I assume software (anyway to tell). Inside it has black interior, in great condition, with black cube trim, a reupholstered headliner, and a large Bavarian sound werks sub box under the back deck. It also has gloss black kidneys.

    The car has a few issues, which I hope to address soon. It has tint on the headlights and taillights. The tint on the windows may not be legal in NC. The front bumper cover has an excessive amount of rock chips. The drivers side fog light trim is missing. The struts look to be old and could be original, it drove great, but i have no frame of reference. The original zhp wheels have been painted black and the work is not holding up well.

    I will post a picture here when I get home from work, if its not raining, then I will start a project thread when I get to work on her!

    Sparkling Graphite Metallic is one of my favorite ZHP colors. I was very close to buying a similar coupe when I was on the hunt.

    Awesome! Check into this thread and let us know whereabouts the city you're located. There is, without a doubt, a mafia member nearby. We have a strong presence in the QC.

    Watch those droppings--I have to repaint my car due to a previous owner making that mistake.
