This looks good?? Lambo doors, horrible spoiler and tinted lights. nope.. Personally, i'd feel embarrassed getting out of it. The "murdered out" look is way out of date as well.



Also, nothing wrong with quad exhausts but they stand out too much here (as well as physically sticking out too much).
I don't mind the rear lights, it does update it a bit (reminds me more of the 2-series than the slightly dated 3-series)

An otherwise well modified car ruined by one of the sttest suspension setup I've ever seen.

It's just perplexing. Like marrying a model then sanding off her her face and replacing it with a cartoon drawing of Arsène Wenger.
With any luck whoever did this will lose control of the car going around a typical corner (given the suspension setup), and have that monstrosity cleansed by fire...

Stancing a golf is one thing, actively ruining a ferrari to the point where it quite probably handles worse then said golf...

it is only a 355 at the end of the day wink

modified/ruined like this, or tarted up and down the high street by some Black Lace lookalike who think's he's Don Johnson cos he's got a cheeky half gram in his pocket...

Pretty sure it's a 348. 355s didn't have side strakes.

Sounds like I need to have a couple of beers tonight wink

damnit, you're right

but a 348 is 7 worse than a 355, so my point stands wink

It's on air so it'll raise up and be absolutely fine. Who cares.

Yes, and being able to raise it up to drive it somehow magically reinserts the huge chunks of the monocoque they chopped out to get the wheels to tuck.

How about being enjoyed by someone who appreciates the car for what it is?

I have no problem with modified ferraris, especially the more common models, but this makes it worse at being a car..

badly modded or not? You choose. The biggest issue is it looks like it's on stilts!

348 has a tubular steel rear subframe, the monocoque part ends before the rear wheels

Looks like a pedigree pooch got free and was "serviced" by a TVR resulting in that offspring
