Is it wrong to want that?!!! Initial thoughts were Hmmmm slicing a car to make it into a soft top will compromise it rather, but looks like you've sorted that!

for a show car they do work, just this will have more than enough go to match for once!

Damn, would love to work with a company like yourselves, not many about that actually go the whole hog rather than just slinging on a bodykit, big wheels and massive install in. The roofless chop and cage are superb

Wow! Love the concept! Looks like a lot of hard work so hats off to you. Should be amazing!

On the downside i'm not a big fan of the lambo doors or the vielside styling (dare i say its a bit 90's?) but fair play all the same!

Did you consider any other bodykits?

I had that pic done a few back,since then I'v made changes and I'm using a vielside kit I'm getting an one off kit made for it

But lambo doors are staying look so good on this car
