Very tasteful modification.

new bonnet fitted 4_zpsoz7bvnpy.jpg


Loving that "power bulge" bonnet (hood) as a solution to the issue of what's going on between the wings (fenders) fouling the original part.

new air box 2_zps62ohexud.jpg


7-port head with close-fitting sportbike carbs and a shallow airbox add a lot to the front of the motor, where the original A-series head had only spark plugs on the front with 5 ports (2 intake, 3 exhaust) to the rear, but the impact is miniscule compared to that of a pair of Webers.

Its validity (or lack thereof) notwithstanding, I think I'd have gone with the DS 19 nose instead.

I kinda want to see Fuchs on an actual DS now, however.
 
Well, it's another one of my own cars...

Basically, the wheels came off a different Volvo 240, and I had them powder-coated in satin black. The chin-spoiler under the front bumper has also been colour-coded, since it used to be plastic. So far, that's all I've done.
