Well James I've got to say it still does not look any better!! Me and Dai have been wondering how many cornflakes boxes it took to get it looking like that! Was it a blue peter project! Probable it goes with the saying "Here's one I made earlier"
All the best

OK, here's a question...

Do you not like it because it's been done in a ghetto fashion, or do you not like the style at all? It looks to me like a Renault 5 Gordini or a Metro 6R4 crossed with a 300....which is a good thing. Shame it's been badly executed!

I suspect it was created by mechanics (note the radical suspension work), and the bodywork was a bunch of spanner monkeys doing the best they could - not being bodywork guys!

Do you mean the Metro 6R4 that is also in colin mcrea rally 2005?

Post by **foggyjames** » 20 Jun 2005 11:12 am

Yes, the very same....that wide-body style from the 80s....although the R5 Gordini is a better example - the 6R4 looks too 'bolted on'.

No it´s not mounted to low. Its the car that are low. He as lowered the car 60 mm.

I didn't mean it's too low to the ground (hell no

)...I mean it looks too low on the car (if that makes sense)....ie: the makes the under bumper area look too tapered. I'd have left it a bit wider, and mounted it higher....then lowered the car more

cheers
