[Tomba3000]

Greetings,

Hard to believe this year represents 10 years together with our 3.0 CS (Polaris Silver, Blue Leather with 14inch BBS Mahle)
Bought shortly before our Wedding it is naturally part of the family.
After House projects and Family projects - Finally time to register on this great forum and get more involved.
I hope I am now able to spend some more time actively improving the condition of our cherished Coupe, to do justice to this now 50 year old Icon.

Really appreciate all the contributions and Information from this community, it has made living with this Car far easier!

Regards, Tom

Greetings Tom, were you in Bad Herrenalb in May?

Unfortunately not :O
With young kids, generally I tend to keep things local to the Rhine Main area.

So the car is Polaris but the lighting is green from the trees?

Yes it must be the Trees!
Though my Car is quite a warm silver.
I thought perhaps it was the clearcoat de-colouring with age?
While spending some time at https://scuderia-sportiva-colonia.de/en/
I did learn that there was always some variation in the shade used for Polaris.
I have seen some cars that are a lot more Blue-Silver?
