Having seen the C70 Immingham posted, as his own ;) I started trawling google images, and found this: Image Image I have to say, I had a moment, unfortunately the interior's a big let down: Image WTF is going on with the steering wheel. The outside though is near perfection.

Personally I think it is hideous with a capital HID.

I love the bodykit, looks different but works IMO.

Post 659373 by jdavis on 2013-11-10 21:28:34

not my favourite to be fair. the kit looks homemade

Sorry mate but not feeling that, I think it would've been the tits 10 years ago when it was all about kits & ironing board spoilers but respect if you go down that route as it won't be cheap. Understand everyone wants they're car to be different but I don't see the point in tuning your car to kill it with a heavy aerodynamics ruining kit. I'd rather spend the money on a tidy set of wheels & more powaaar. Lol

I shouldn't like it, but I really do, as long as it has the performance to back it up.

[QUOTE=claymore;659380]I shouldn't like it, but I really do, as long as it has the performance to back it up.[/QUOTE] It's got an estimated 300 BHP, so probably not enough for you mate, but the interior is stripped.

I'm agreeing with immingham, it reminds me of a e46 m3 with the wheels though. Steve I can see why you like it but I think your car is going in the right direction. ;)

personally i think the orange one looks like the bodykit designer spent way too long looking at s13's Image The blue one's fairly subtle, looks a fair bit like a TT or BMW though

[QUOTE=merc85;659409]lol you n me to [ATTACH=CONFIG]22975[/ATTACH][/QUOTE] the skirts look like a last minute mod to me, rest of the car has nice curves that flow them the sill are square and spoil the car. i couldnt live with that.

I'm thinking of doing a 2 tone paint job with a dark roof & A and C posts, probably using a partial wrap.

[QUOTE=Wobbly Dave;659439]I'm thinking of doing a 2 tone paint job with a dark roof & A and C posts, probably using a partial wrap.[/QUOTE] id leave it as is if was you. maybe slightly darker wheels leave it at that. subtle is the way forward. its a fashion that never changes

Post 659449 by stribo on 2013-11-10 23:26:35

I want a gloss black roof on mine, but that's way down the list.

[QUOTE=stribo;659449]I want a gloss black roof on mine, but that's way down the list.[/QUOTE] thats easy. 45 quid in materials and a few hours rubbing down. probobly take longer to mask car than to prep and paint.
