My third of life crisis

Just got this 1999 C4 Cabriolet. I love everything about so far, what a blast to drive. Can't wait for some warm weather to take off the top and have some wind in the face.

Welcome! Be ware of the mods on this board you can sink a ton of $$ into these cars.

Love the clear headlights, I plan on doing that to mine in the spring. Sure would look nice with some clear corners IMHO...

They are the Litronic lights. Great visibility at night
The side lights are already on my list of things to do. I am well aware of how quick you can spend money. But hey you got to take care of your girl right?

Was looking at these for the side: http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Hella-Cl...962197&vxp=mtr

Congrats. You will love your Cab. I have a rule, top down unless it's raining. That's why they make heaters .

I agree, well or snowing of course. She also has heated seats which should be nice on those chilly days.

So anxious to get some nice weather.

Congrats on the purchase, you'll have to tell us a little more about it. Have you been looking for a while ? miles ...etc. We actually have the Euro Side Markers your looking for. I would also consider a Non-Smokers Kit too if you haven't already. For more information Click Here. Enjoy and welcome

Yes, I have been looking off and on for about 2 years. She has 49,000 miles, has just has the RMS and IMB service along with the clutch replaced. One owner with full service records back to day one.
She is the Metallic Black, has the Litronic lights, heated/memory seats w/ lumbar, Supple leather, HiFi radio, Hard top.
The PPI said she needed nothing!

Oh wow, you found a gem !! Hopefully it warms up sooner then later, I see snow for the weekend here. I can't complain yet though, since it is still February.
