I do like the Z4 conversion to Z8 looks from a while ago on PH, that looked nice to my eyes.

That does look very smart

[ZedLeg]

Aye, makes me think it was a shame that they never carried that Z8 design language to other models.

I posted a similar but worse Z4 bodykit in the other thread this morning, with the impression it was supposed to be a Cobra kit. This has come up on my random Google articles feed, it's also a Z4 and it does look a lot better, and is designed as a mix of Maserati and Ferrari https://www.evo.co.uk/convertibles/206250/the-ares...





For reference, this is what I put in the other thread.

I'd like to see the backside of that.
I'd not like to see the backside of that.

Brace yourself…



(it’s not as bad as the front though)

If that was viewed square-on from the back, and it didn't have the stickers, I think it would look pretty good actually and if the lights were more like the GTC4's, per -

Not £335,000 nice.

agreed, sounds like a lot, but then so are Singers and other Restomods, a lot about the same prices, crazy money, but... if you have to much to spend and it feels like say 3.350,- instead of 335.000,- then I can understand, money no object, some nice cars out there, sadly not for a lot of car fans with a smaller budget.

Not sure about the wheels. Looks nice from every angle, lovely.

agreed, those type wheels do not do that car justice.

Love it bar front wings and need flat ground to drive about.

[Steamer]

I'm assuming the rear arches must be detachable too - bugger to change the rear wheels

Be good for the booze run to Calais back in the day.

Pretty sure this is not an actual car, but I think it looks awesome nonetheless.

^orange SAAB^ - not changed much since 23rd September, though

What front wings?

The pic of it being built shows some front wings

Then they are missing

I'm assuming or hoping they're still working on them

Without looks sheet

Not entirely sure that’s the same car.

I think you’re right

[Lordbenny]

I’m really lusting after this right now….what a combination.

[kambites]

Is than an F20C?

I hope it's had some substantial suspension and brake upgrades to go with it!

Looking at that engine bay I’d say its been done properly.

[ajprice]

Putting this in here, it's a bit odd but I like it. Making your Jeep a little less Jeepy.

I ‘had thoughts’ about an MGA a while ago. They are such a beautiful, pure, under-appreciated design.
With an engine like that in one, it must be quite a thing.
