    Slowly returning her to original condition, put on the stock 20" Challenge wheels today and I think they look great.

    I will keep the lowered stance and I've now ordered a lot of the original exterior badge parts and lights/reflectors from Ricambi and found a few more bits on eBay to restore her back to stock over the next few weeks.

    Still looking for original rear tail lights without spending a fortune .. I will trade my blacked out ones for anyone with stock lights if there is interest. Pics below:

    :) beautiful car, however I think it would look even better with the lower plastic parts in black instead of white. There's too much white.

    That's curious, I love the opposite...

    I like the 612 only with the full painted body.


    OP, you car is one of my favorite Scag ever.

    What was it's original look ? What are the mods done to it ? thanks

    Thanks, appreciate the kind words.

    Car was blacked out when I bought her a few weeks ago (wheels, tail lights, reflectors, turn signals, all chrome pieces (cavallino, ferrari emblem, front grill, side emblems, etc) were all black or dark/tinted.

    Putting the silver challenge wheels on was the first step at returning her to stock. In the next few weeks I will have most of the body pieces on as it was when new.

    Color is all original (Avorio/Ivory) with dark brown diamond patterned leather inside.

    Here are pics below -- some are from when new and one is from when I bought her all blacked out.

    You do NOT want to know what I'm going through re the wheels on my 612. I don't have the energy to bother telling the whole story right now. The short of it is I've already got OEM modulars on the way. Not challenge wheels, but they'll look nice. The plan is to sell my 612 eventually, not put $5k in wheels, rather $2k. I've enjoyed the wheels that are on her, but it's definitely not the wheel that will help sell her.

    Looking good, Riozilla.

    Thanks for the pics !
    That's a hell of a tastefully specced Scag... I searched your threads to see the interior... beautiful.

    Much better with the Challenge wheels. Love the black grille as well. I will likely be putting one on my 2005 in the near future.

    Rio- She looks great now. Much improved with the Challenge wheels and will look even better with the black-out details gone.

    Piper, I wished I had known you were looking for the oem modulars, I would have given you a great deal on a full set on Pirelli 19's

    I bought her with everything blacked out including the emblems, etc. I don't know how the previous owner did it but I think everything was sprayed/painted custom.

    Novitec sells a blacked out light set that I've seen.

    I've already sold my blacked out lights but I will be selling all of the blacked out chrome body pieces (emblems, cavallino, etc) soon as well.

    Finally got around to having all of my original / stock emblems and lights installed on my 612 and took some pics this evening. I think it looks really great and is now 99% back to stock. Only thing left is the front grill which is still black but I think I will leave that as-is for now.

    Special thanks to Kevin from Audio Illusions to did the heavy lifting work to make it all happen!

    She looks great. That is a really pretty color and all the OEM details highlight the paint much better than the black details did.
