I recognise the top line as english words but what the hell does it mean!?
Again subjective but they are far from st, I'd go as far to say they probably function pretty well as wheels you just don't personally like them, this doesn't make them st wheels
Interior retrim again doesn't look gash, it looks very well done but isn't quite to your tastes which again doesn't make it gash
Front bumper meh I can take it or leave it
I'm guessing you havent seen F&F if thats what it envokes in your mind, simply the builder of the car letting people know which company did it, no huge ninja man down the side or whatever, quite subtle if you ask me
How old are you, out of interest?
Not 100% sure what that has to do with anything :s

Oh I'm 22 by the way
I think the wheels look really well, and i'm guessing that, YES they function better than the originals (being lightweight).
I really like the interior, i actually think it's an improvement on the stock interior.

Oh, and Danny, age has feck all to do with taste, it's all individual biggrin

Lovely looking thing, not every modified car has to be a fire-breathing track monster - On his P plates too, he said - So not bad for a first car!

I think taste changes with age.

Some of the things I thought were cool in my teens, are shockingly poor by todays standards. I had a red MK3 Cortina with gold hammerite Rostyles, black perspex windows, high level brake lights and red light on the diff. I thought I was the canine testicles aged 18. I kind of think that the ''too fast, too many gearchanges'' crowd of today, may well feel the same a few years down the line. That said, just because I don't like the look, doesn't make it wrong. It's good to see enthusiastic owners no matter what their personal tastes.

Wheels are st. I'd rather have a standard looking one. It looks tacky and crap.
Wheels aren't st they just don't look right on this car
Far from tacky and crap
It's an abomination of what would look quite cool is it was standard.
Wheels ARE st. They looking fking awful.

  • edit* furthermore, the interior retrim looks gash, the front bumper is ugly as sin. The stickers down the side scream F&F.
Edited by TheLordJohn on Thursday 17th January 19:37
The front bumper is standard, just the front splitter is colour coded. Hardly a huge bodykit.
Retrim is a change of colour to the centres to match the cars new colour, hardly tastless.
There's a sticker of the tuning company that's done all the work to the car. Hardly a gladiator sitting on a dildo....

The wheels aren't the best design to suit the car but all down to the owners choice.

That is lovely!

...however 2 things
  • why does it have "air-brakes" on the rear pillars?
  • Are those Venetian blinds in the rear windows?
I'd imagine the "air brakes" are vents and yes, blinds cool

Crackin' car.

Oh and the black F40 - splumph.

those "air brakes" are a substitute for a rear wiper ... keeps the back window clean (in theory)

That 2CV thing has been around for years, maybe as many as ten.

Nice piece of art deco.
