yikeshttp://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/t... I`m not a fan of modifying a car like this, i think it restricts the number of people that would want to buy it.

Neither am I, but bearing in mind the owner might be on here I'd remind myself that I'm not forced to buy it, and that everybody likes different things smile

I quite like it - a bit of Daytona 365 going on at the rear...

The owner appears to be a dealer,who no doubt has a massive mark up on it,as is the way with classic car dealers.

Very interesting that it says that those seats are BMW though - Z3 or something?

It's likely to be on sale or return. I can't imagine a dealer would take that on!

I rather like that! Which surprises conservative me! - Although I have some reservations with the wheels.

Seems to have overcome the front indicator supply problem by doing away with them altogether! No rear numberplate lamp either? (or exhaust tailpipes?)

Pity there are no pix of the engine room...

Amazingly given I'm ultra original mindset, I like it. Someone seems to have thought about the look carefully. Usually, they just don't seem to work in one area or another. Bold choice to go round rears lights, but the Ferrari esque look seems to have worked. Nice

Quite like the front

Back looks "kit car"

Wheels look vomit

I think they're behind the upper grille.

Not for me but the front looks better than the rear. Each to there own I suppose, as they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

It was only last weekend that I really noticed the subtle differences to the curvature of the grill apertures and the different positioning of the mesh grills which does make the V8 bonnet look better than the V6 anyway. He has taken that further and it does look cleaner but I am no fan at all of 'hiding' the indicators. They are there for a purpose.
Not so keen on the back. Like Philpott I absolutely hate the wheels, nor am I a fan of very low profile wheels on a car which wasnt designed for them. The S has a 'feel', low profile tyres will adversely affect that on a ROAD car.
