I ruined my rear fenders when rolling, need to do some fixing




Also need to put some spacers into front, and buying proper air system when i have enough money

Does anyone else have this problem with stock air suspension with DataSystem controller that rear bags doesn't go low as they should? Is it a sensor problem or do you know how to fix it? The car tilts forward sometimes, i don't like the way it looks at all. Thanks

Not being in favour of extensive VIP modifications, I decided to stick with the very original rim and tire size (225/60 on 16").

But still, my "Mr Bombastic" now has an imperial stance, shodded with new Century wheels.

Thanks. Actually, it is not difficult to find some very fine rims and set-ups.
But very few combinations genuinely agree with the (spirit of) good ol' 400. From my point of view, many are .... over the top. - Yes, personal taste, I know. But my car shall age in grace, not like a street hooker with too much lipstick.

Before I went same-size for those 16", I played around with some 18" (on a similar car), but in the end, none of them convinced me:



Besides, getting a whiff from that Emperor's bespoke means of transport feels kinda .... elevating.
