    Such a good looking car!
    A bit surprising as I haven't liked a white boxer I know of.
    Realisation dawns that its actually been the black below the waist line thats detracted from the boxer's looks, not the white colour.
    Nothing simple or straight forward about the asthetics of these cars. Ones understanding and taste is developed over time and examining as many as possable.
    To my eye and current way of thinking your's is a very nice looking example.

    I think you will find he was comparing it to a white boxer here in Oz which is white and has the black lower section as opossed to the 308 being fully painted.

    I'm curious if that's a CA car from about 6 years ago or so in Socal. I looked at one in north eastern OC very similar. Had about 39K but very good shape. Very nice looking car regardless, congrats!

    Gotcha, as I re-read his post, after yours, it makes sense. Wasn't trying to be a smart azz.

    That is the best looking white F-car I have ever seen!

    Have any photos of the rear? Is it a us car or euro?

    Should get lots of kudos wherever you go.

    I'm curious about the two intakes on either side of the front spoiler. I know the 3 slits in the middle are always there but the two larger ones aren't from the factory are they?

    Beautiful car, please submit it to the register www.308qvregister.com


    Also, as for the Pinin Farina badge,, the proper location is driver side engine bay, forward of rear wheel
