I like what you've done under the bonnet...but the car really isn't my cuppa...sorry
Sorry - have to agree; the mechanical spec looks great (9/10), but the exterior just doesn't seem.....cohesive is the word, I think - it breaks up the "feeling" of the car.

As always these things are opinions, not facts, so don't get upset.

i'm not a huge fan of the white rims. you'd lose marks from me on that for sure.

the body does look nice thogh.

i enjoy the skirts for sure.

i also don't like the white grill in the front. i reckon a mesh grille would look sweet. taht's just me though.

if you looking for a number out of 10 i'd say 7.

A VERY big well done for doing something different. Everyone seems to do the same ol routine, well done.

If it was slammed (for the Euro look) I would give you a 10/10, as the car follows a good theme as looks very well done.
Engine wise, gotta be a 9/10 (only silly power gets a 10 ;) )

Kinda thinking about painting my alloys white now (or just buying a second hand set of white ones and selling mine)
