You could set Kim Kardashian on the rear of the Turbo. Let her hold the beer.

3D configurator in fullscreen mode, rotate into place, print screen, save image, then repeat for the other models. Took about 5 minutes. It's easiest if you use the "night mode" because the background texture provides some consistent reference points along the edges when you're lining things up.

I wonder what would be involved to put Turbo fenders on a C2...?

the TT wide *** is noticeable, esp when next to a C2. I only wish they add some width to the front, however.

Marc, dont go there. Youre prob better off buying a TT

"You can set your beer on the rear of the Turbo"

What a nice job!!

Doesn't 4S look the best proportionally and esthetically?? Perhaps I'm biased

Without a doubt! C4(S), closely followed by T4(S) have the best proportions. (Maybe the lightbar also helps to make it visually a lot more appealing)

BTW, to give the C4/T4/GT3/Turbo bodies a wider and lower stance, there's a new option available for modelyear 2015.
Option XAJ, sideskirts painted. makes a big big difference IMHO.

Here's an example for the Turbo:

With option XAJ:

Suzy, I don't follow either -- isn't the option just to paint the black plastic side skirts the same color as the exterior paint? Do you mean it creates the optical effect (illusion?) of being lower and wider?

Exactly!

Maybe I should have been a bit more clear indeed. I should have said "visually a lower and wider stance". My bad
