Has anyone taken the plunge and done the Retroforza conversion?

That looks really good, owner must be chuffed - only tiny quibble would be solved by taking ride height down by say 30mm as I think it sits just a little high on its wheels.

Interesting. He seems to be having issues getting all the parts for the kit (headlight covers)

Oddly, I don't like the look of that one. If I did a retroforza it would have to be red (pseudo-italian) or BRG (pseudo-old-lotus).

Brilliant shape though.

very nice, although i do think this conversion is nicer:

Remember the one abouve is a showcar with allthe trimmings and the one in my link is still in progress , give the chap some time , i erckon it's lookinf fantastic , lower it 13" deep dish minilites and retro desmo mirrors and it would look effing wonderfull .... oh and a supercharger

Love the look of the 'Forza kit though I am a little surprised they're still in business tbh; they don't seem to sell many. I guess it's a bit tricky when the kit+work costs double the value of your average Mk1 these days...a real labour of love I reckon.

That's almost ridiculously cool.

I think I'd still rather have the Retroforza though. Wonder how much it would cost for a bodyshop to put one together (I wouldn't want to do it myself).

Just found this picture.


That must look RIDICULOUS.
