I'd take the front skirt and rear wing off but apart from those I think it alright.

Cheers

Could be missing something here?

Take of the front and the spoiler.. replace with standard bod parts and thats a lot of car for someone if its a good price.

Looks alright to me, shame it's in Falkirk, that's somewhere up near Iceland isn't it?

you guys like it? haha! thats funny

I guess beauty really is in the eye of the beholder because to me it just looks terrible.

Obviously its a 7 under the ostentatious garb, so stripped back its no different to most of our car....but who does THAT to a car

It looks like the love child of these two



and this

I quite like it in a strange way - it's definately not something penned by Pininfarina, but I kind of like the brutal looks.

I would be tempted to tone down the rear spoiler, but maybe it's there for a reason?

It needs a bonnet and some better lines at the front but other than that its quite nice.

It looks different and serious so two thumbs fresh from me!





Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!

You'd just have to do a bit more cosmetic work on it to make it a bit more Lego like.

I don't mind it. Looks functional. I'd stick a bonnet on it and tone down the ridiculously large moby dick on the back.
