No wonder the color did not match the Tornado Red Carat that was parked near you. It's amazing what those brlliant Italian paint maestros can do with a fancy paintjob. Even those fake side grills look real. Who's your painter? I'd like to have flames painted on my diesel Syncro. By the way, how did those italians make your Vanagon look like an altered Pontiac Fiero GT?!? Must have been a lot of painstaking Bondo work.
