Post by: stuart-88 on April 20, 2014, 09:00:44 pm: That's awesome, the tiny brakes let it down though, and the awful rear lights.

Post by: xjay1337 on April 20, 2014, 09:09:27 pm: Seen a few of these about. It's always a 1.4 or a 1.9tdi.

Often done in fibreglass... if it was full abs plastic then maaaaybe.

Post by: Hurdy on April 20, 2014, 09:34:20 pm: One of the better efforts I've seen.

Post by: Pete-r on April 20, 2014, 09:48:58 pm: I think it looks like a well done job, and personally I think it looks great. Maybe black would make it less full fat.

Post by: dan930 on April 21, 2014, 01:32:16 am: It actually looks pretty good...shame about the 1.4L

I thought the rear lights looked OK, or am I by myself?

Post by: Veee-dubber on April 21, 2014, 07:30:05 am: Why spend all that money on the exterior and then leave the interior like that :o

Post by: Wooosh on April 21, 2014, 04:23:30 pm: I think this is 1 of the better attempts of a W12 replica, shame about the engine size, interior & tiny brakes.

The tailpipes in the wrong place I later learned,isn't it as bad as having one of them Ferrari MR2's ?

Post by: daedos on April 22, 2014, 08:50:17 pm: Looks good from the photos... and outside.
"no expense spared" - except the interior!

Got to be amused at doing all that to a 1.4.

Post by: Dave7692 on April 25, 2014, 11:08:12 am: Its odd to do all that to a 1.4.

Then again if anyone did that to an R32/ED30 they'd need shooting, especially on an ED30.

Post by: SteveyD on April 25, 2014, 11:16:36 am: It's actually cleverly marketed for the "younger" market? Cheap 1.4 to insure but with go faster looks. Ill bet it was a bit of a sh1tter full of car park dings etc, fit the kit, paint the car and bingo! To be fair it looks pretty good.

Post by: greygti on April 25, 2014, 06:48:11 pm: Looks ok needs a CDL engine fitting , more power to actually carry the body kit off lol
