Ignoring the bodykit and rear spoiler (a hard task but I'm trying :lol:), I feel that the original lines of the car are lost with the top chop. With the hood up it looks a little awkward:

That abrupt rise from in the waistline from where the rear quarter windows would have been seems to dictate where the rear of the hood finishes. I think a more raked rear screen, resulting in a shorter engine cover would look better but that would affect access to the greasy bits.

A car that looks pretty good (standard GTA) winds up with something of the Triumph Spitfire about it. :shock: Maybe an MR-2 / Pontiac Firebird style t-bar roof would have been a step far enough.

The lines suit a roof chop, but not the canvas roof that follows :D

The best bit is the plastic door vent normally found on a GTA doorcard stuck inbetween one of the strakes down the side of the car... :lol:

...but if they weren't stuck there it would look as if the strakes did not actually lead anywhere. :wink:

Bloody Ferrari Testarossa, it has a lot to answer for. :shock:

I saw a Matra Bagheera on the net recently to which some caring individual had sensitively applied a 'strakeover''.

Kind of :lol: ... but really a bit :cry: (I like Bagheeras too).

Beauty is in the eye and all that - I have to say the steering wheel is a nice touch.

For something else weird look at this -

Do those look like A610 rear light clusters?? Anyway £25K for a car that looks like it's already been bent round a lamp post :lol:

Darren, it's the whackey steering wheel that really puts me off this one, reminds me of the VW Polo, the yellow bodywork is fine though.

Lee, and she's sitting on it in a denim skirt, I've dumped a girl in the past for sitting on my car, and at the time it was a humble Bertone X1/9. You might be surprised how much of a mess jeans studs can make to a cars bodywork, not mine thankfully.
