September 2011 Featured HHR l ROMEO Rocks

Hi guys!

My name's [name removed] from Switzerland (near Basel) and this is my "Black Pearl".

It's a 2007 LT, which was imported to Europe by Chevrolet Germany and converted to meet EU-standards (mostly affecting the lights). Meanwhile i've brought it to Switzerland and done some further mods. These include:
  • Eibach Pro-Kit lowering springs
  • Running boards
  • Fall-edition headlights with chrome sidemarker bulbs
  • Black front sidemarker lenses
  • Iron cross shifter
  • Stubby antenna
  • 57' Chevy dash script
  • 57' Chevy trunk script
  • EBC slotted sport brake discs (front)
  • EBC redstuff brakepads
  • black coated rear brakedrums
  • black coated front brake calipers
  • removed factory tailgate letters
  • re-converted taillights to US-standard with red sidemarkers
  • removed black "Euro-box" with rear foglight and backuplight
  • black painted Chevy bowties on front and back
  • black painted Chevy bowtie on steering wheel
  • TomTom XL navigation with custom dash holder
  • Removed red rear sidemarkers and closed holes
  • Removed reflectors in rear bumper and closed holes
  • Painted black frontbumper insert (below license plate)
  • Chrome license plate holders front and back
  • American Racing Torque Thrust M wheels (17/8")
  • Goodyear Eagle F1 asymmetric tires
  • Silver cross pendant on rearview mirror

I haven't changed anything about the performance, as it's no dragracer anyway and i need it as reliable daily driver that gets reasonable mpg.

For the future i might add a stainless steel dual exhaust, but otherwise i'm completely satisfied as it is.

Thanks! I'm in the design business, so photos are part of my daily work but i usually let others take them.

By the way, these pictures here were made using an iPhone and a 1-dollar app called "Camera+". ...I can only recommend it!
