Real or render? Some of the latter are getting very realistic
Real, AFAIK its is a modded 4C, so actually should be relatively do-able, since it just takes a normal 4C as a starting point.I love the agressive look of it, the one thing i dont like is the weird braces from the back to the top of the roof, especially with the visible seam.

Phew thanks! I was bracing myself ready for it to be called a s

I have tried to keep it a bit more subtle now. I bought it with all the rally graphics on but cant do that look anymore. So wheels are back to original colour, bodywork is standard apart from the fog cover, carbon splitter and carbon reverse vent. The reverse vent being more function than form. No point keeping the normal scoop with a front mount as it just traps hot air in the bay, the reverse scoop actively draws it all out. The front splitter went on after I hit a rabbit at about 90mph and it smashed the centre out of the original. I like having it carbon as one I like splitters black and two the P1 comes standard with a carbon gurney flap on the rear wing so its nice to compliment that.
Just to keep it more subtle I have the black badge on the nose (previous owner had a pink STI one on it) front mount painted black, all the indicators are now clear rather than orange and the little vents by the fog lights are painted black rather than the standard orange.

Speeding of sleepers, I very nearly got outran by a G reg Micra on a private dual carriageway the other night, fairly shoddy looking with a single bucket seat. Turned out it has a 170-180bhp N/A Nissan SR20 lump in it from a Primera GTI!
I don’t think I could’ve faced the shame if it had been quicker

Citroen Type H body conversion for a Citroen Relay van https://www.carmagazine.co.uk/features/car-culture...
Probably marmite, but it makes a change from seeing a normal van and not being sure if it's a Transit or Sprinter or.. something else.
Coming soon to a hipster ice cream/burger/coffee van near you.

Surely better just to fit the running gear from the newer van into the old body?
Least it wouldn't look like a "retro inspired" design by the same person who thought the current 500 looks anything like the original 60s version!

I built a 75 in a similar vein over Christmas, mine is on air ride and Bentley Continental wheels :
Like that!Bentley wheels don't suit much, but they do here!
EDIT TO ADD
Inevitable quick look on eBay finds a MGZT (no mot, but seems a simple fix) for £150

His K70 is by far my favourite build though as you could quite easily daily it!
