I actually quite like it, although I would probably tone it down a little. I think I would retain the wide arched look, big wheels etc., but perhaps reinstate the original bumpers, Vitesse spoilers etc.

Additionally, I'd love to hear how the beast sounds, a chevy V8, twin, big bore exhausts, a recipe for aural pleasure. I'm it attracts "Wows" wherever it goes....

I wouldn't say no....

Me neither, just spray it black and change those awful Weller 8 Spokes to some AZEV A's and it would look very good.
Remember in the late 80's and early 90's the SD1 was a much modified car, you used to see loads about with whale tails etc. If done properly they can still carry off modified looks Cool

. It's just that now they are a classic car it feels wrong to be doing it. Embarassed

yeah,i am confused as to why he has fitted such things as the series1 tailgate??

I can understand headlights as they are sunk back which will make room for the Bad Boy bonnet Rolling Eyes

But why the tailgate?? Confused
