When this CSL came to Oldenzaal we performed the bodywork and had a complete repainted in the factory 022 Inka carried out professionally. It has all it's CSL-specific aluminium parts: bonnet, trunk and doors are made of aluminium. The car was repainted fantastic is looking excellent. The car was assembled with great care of lots of new parts: All new beltline trim, new headlights, mirrors, rooftrim, emblems and more. It shows tinted glass in new gaskets, the rear bumper is the correct CSL black plastic one. A genuinely beautiful 3.0 CSL with a nice and straight body and beautiful trim.

The seats are the correct CSL Scheel seats that have been reupholstered correctly with black rib cloth and black vinyl. The trim on the sills have been polished to high-gloss, it has a new black (CSL-correct) headliner. The wood has been restored as well as the doorpanels. It has new doorgaskets, the correct 40 centimeter Petri steering wheel which has been reupholstered and a restored A/C center console with Bavaria S radio. It has new 3-point automatic seatbelts.
