If a 'song' means cheap, and it's as good as it looks and sounds, sell it, and use the profit to buy a more suitable retro to 'do' stuff to. My opinion,HOWEVER do what you like.  |

Slap some later wheels or slightly bigger saab wheels on it and a small tickle with the stick and it'll be respectable enough. It's too new and too competent to really go to town on imo

BBS CH and lowering will do the trick.  I would even paint the wheels gold/ bronze to match the red body. |

Bigger wheels, lower, make faster. In my opinion.

saab hammerhead alloys as per 2002+ 9-5's You stole my thoughts! I was about to say....mild lowering job and a set of Vector nails would be just about perfect! You could colourcode the bumper strips too don't be tempted to fit Viggen Alloys, they arent that special and seem to buckle like hell! |

I like these as well:  Only for MY2012 in 16,17 and 18", but we all know how rare a late 9-3 is. |

Lower, wheels, rather than colour coding I'd pick out more black detail, it's got the black frames on the windows, and the door handles, black mirrors maybe? Grill? Will age it a bit and keep the what's retro police happy! maybe I'm biased I have a c900 it's white, and if a part will come off its getting hit black, |
