I've just deleted all the replies for the obvious reasons, sorry.

I thought it was funny, but forum rules and all that.

Please keep this on topic and clean smile

Lowering is a definate. Not too much to make it chavvy but the drop on Eibachs is perfect for appearance and aggression. They should all have left the factory in that way. As long as its combined with good OE springs or uprated aftermarkets the ride can still be made good too.
I'd also love to be able to run an Italian sized front plate too - the UK plate ruins the cut-away front bumper holes - great design feature.

Each to their own. cool
Having had a Zender kitted VW in the 80's, I thought at the time it was the dogs do das.
But body kits tend not to age as well as the original designs? Well chosen alloys in my view make the most of the designers original intentions?
Let's see some pics of your two? smile

I'm also always looking for a rear spoiler that suits the coupe, everything i've seen just doesn't seem quite right.

My old Scottie has a Modena front bumper, LE skirts and a Zender back bumper. Also Billies and Eibachs, and the black 1.2 wheels as in the picture below. A right dog's breakfast, but at least she is colour-coded and goes like stink (Stage 3 thanks to JBT and Barbz). The good-looker is my Moon VT6; utterly standard apart from being slightly lowered.

Everyone to their own.... no rear spoilers please rolleyes

I've looked on autods some very nice kits, I already have a set of vented wings, also have some ideas regarding rear lights, but definitely no desires for a spoiler

Which spoiler is fitted to the Coop next to the Zonda?
IMO it really suits the colour and car?

Out of interest does anyone know the history of that photo?
I've seen it before a few times. Shot outside the Pagani factory.............

My goal is always to get the question: " is it std..?" .. From those who doesn't know the model well, obviously.
