My first actual inspiration was in the late 80's with the AMG Mercedes 300E "Hammer". This was called the 'Eurolook' to take big motor, wheels, & brakes wrapped in a aero kit body with monochromatic paint scheme.
By all means at that time my car was a Cal-look because it did have Empi wheels on it but I was researching aquiring a set of ATS wheels from Europe to, what was available at that time, complete my Eurolook.
Then in 1995 I was introduced to the Germanlook when I seen a pic of the MBT 1303 mit 951 brakes and 965 wheels and it all changed!
