The car is finished in Jet Black and features xenon headlights, an electric sunroof, and fog lights. The hood and rear bumper cover have been repainted. The sunroof mechanism was cleaned and lubricated, and the trunk struts were replaced in August 2026. Scrapes are visible on the underside of the front lip.

A set of 18″ Style 32 alloy wheels was fitted under current ownership, and the wheels are mounted with Continental ExtremeContact tires. The car is equipped with Dynamic Stability Control, and braking is handled by four-wheel ventilated discs.
