Beautiful car. Suspension looks lowered. Any idea what kind of hardware they used?

Very very nice, and congratulations. (I've been luck twice now, once with the 04'C4S and now with my recent C2S to have someone put some real nice optins on the car)

Take the time to enjoy!!!!

Looks great. Be careful with the aluminum look surfaces-if you nick it wit will chip quite easily. Had it happen to me so take care.

Thanks for the positive comments. The springs are H&R, not sure about the rims at the moment.

I sadly only have these 2 iPhone shots of the car, but I guess it's better than nothing! I had a 2006 C2S Coupe and traded it on my new car on a whim when I went to the dealer to check out the Panamera. It was on the showroom floor with the 20" Modulares already on it and they made me a deal I couldn't refuse. I honestly think the 20s are just a tad big for the car and will likely switch back to the stock 19s and sell the Modulares when it's time for tire replacement.

20" modulare M3's

Yes, I realized when buying this car that the size of the wheels, and perhaps the aftermarket springs to lower it, would be removing a segment of the buyer's market. The subject came up while talking to the dealership about the car and it's sale price.

Your car looks fantastic. I have to say that the car gets a lot of compliments with the Modulares (or the wheels in particular get a lot of compliments). The great thing about custom wheels is that a quick trip to eBay can get you a deal on a set of OEM 19s if necessary when it comes time to sell. I had 19" Champion Motorsport wheels on my '06 (still in my garage, might end up on the new car) and put the original "lobster fork" OEM wheels back on before trading it in.

Thanks, your car does too. I have gone through the process before with a Lexus I bought, I immediately upgraded to big rims and lowered it and then just before I traded it in, I had the original wheels and springs put back on, got an alignment done and back to stock.
With my new Pcar i actually really like it the way it is, and feel very fortunate I was able to find one that is so well optioned and looks IMO really good. And like you said, if I decide that 19"s are better for a number of possible reasons, ebay will be an asset. I actually just bought via Ebay a set of new 20" tires for my Range Rover HSE. I got them last month.
