Post by d_stroy_r »

Personally, it looks sh*t.

Who goes for a orange and then white wheels?

There is no other mods eg interior or engine bay???

What you guys reckon?

To be honest i like it if it's not with white rims, decals & need way more mod on the interior 8O
The difference between what we do and what we are capable of doing would suffice to solve most of the world's problem.

Looks like a huge Jaffa thats gone mouldy on the inside!!!!!!!!!! very ratty interior and the engine bay could do with an extreme make over. Not my taste at all ! In fact probably no taste at all!

    Interesting - wouldnt have know the car, except I recognise those plates - the car used to be silver with maybe a black bonnet. He used to come to events - back in 2003 ish

    can't remember his name though - sorry :?

    edit - definitely 2003, just found the pics from the BBQ that year - he still has the same white wheels from then

    i think what hes done could potentially look very good but has somehow gone horribly wrong haha.. if he dropped it on its ass, got rid of the weird bonnet thing and got some black rims with polish lip, it could look very good. if he swapped the VS kit with something decent it would look even better :)

    well it's not the KIT or the rims that are the problem.. it's the color of them
    (damn it, too much world of warcraft and im starting to spell color,honor the american way!)

    it just very poorly color matched...

    That's one nasty looking fto! Gosh some people do hideous things to there cars... also, not a fan of the mismatch roof/body colour reminds me of the Honda NSX... and then the wing mirrors have been changed too. I don't understand why people buy one car, then spend money trying to make it look like another by ruining all the original lines and styling of it. As most people know I much prefer kits which accentuate the FTO's unique figure, rather then change it beyond recognition (ie. the f**king veilside front bar, those supra style sideskirts and such).

    that car reminds me of the s2000...
    the black painted bonnet bit is the same shape as the s2k and a lot of ppl with s2k does that color scheme...
    but of course looks a lot nicer...
