Pinin,
No worries mate. I appreciate its not to everyones taste.
Although if you see the car in the flesh it looks much better and more complete than it does in the pictures.
Many people have said with the wheels and the paint in the colour it is, it looks very expensive and exotic.
I class chav cars as corsas, saxos, 106 etc. These all look very similiar to each other, cheap and have no real style.
I was aiming to make my coupe different from others without going overboard. I think i have achieved this as my car still has the features of the original pinninfarina styling but i believe i have enhanced the car in areas where the original styling was let down. e.g enhancing ths slashes down the side of the car with the addition of the cada skirts, changing the four spoke wheels and bland front bumper.

Hyper. What do you mean about vandalism? I suppose any car that stands out from the crowd is suspect to damage. Don't think its at risk any more than if it had standard cad bumper on it.
Also i have seen your posts recently about your cooler having a big hole in it. I think that was more down to bad luck mate. I've got pals who have got Evo's, rx7 and gt4 with partly exposed coolers at the front and they havent had any problems. Always try to stay back from the car im front.
Vandals are attracted to cars that stand out. Like a baby with a shiny coin.
As for the intercooler damage. Wasnt bad luck, was salt from the roads which have eventually eaten its way through the outer tubes. This happens to ALL intercoolers. Because your intercooler is more exposed this is MORE likely to happen.
Your gonna benefit from the full cooling ability but i think its gonna come at a cost. As i said previously tho, shit hot work!!

very unique mate  personally, a silver Plus type grille & maybe painting the headlight fairings silver would finish it off a treat. as I am aware, i'll get flamed, but it's a different way of showing off the front, a bit radical yes, but hey, each to their own, looks like a very professional job

I'm in the 'no' group I'm afraid, but I can see the quality of workmanship though.

I, like most people like a modified coop. But, modified along the lines of, something that looks better but still 'factory' to some degree. I like to think that the mods that i do are not a million miles away from what fiat might do to the car if were still in production to give it a facelift. If you know what im getting at?
This, so absolutley brakes the lines of the front bumper that a manufacturer wouldnt dream of doing it.
Not a fan really.

Nice job, but the wrong car. It just totally doesnt go. Would look fine on a supra or evo etc but not the coupe. But then im a total purist.

i think it looks very nice indeed. i say good on him for trying to do something a bit different. I'd get some silver front indicator bulbs on it though it makes the fron look so much better!.

I had thought about salt erosion, especially at this time of the year. But as my intercooler isn't hidden behind mesh or a bumper i can quickly, easily and dirctly clean off any road muck.

it's always great to be different.
So great job mate.
Btw, what side skirting are those? Is it purely an add on or have you got to modify the body?

That looks quite cool, if not daring. And it looks like your Coop is sticking is tongue out!  Anyone who want's to be different scores points in my book and if you can do with with a bit of insult at the common too, well that's just extra brownie points. Spray it black with the rest of the decals and we'll go parading someday with our differently styled Portofino Coops!

Not quite got round to that one yet.
Am considering removing the fiat badge and putting a stick on one in its place (although cars that i have seen with stick on number plates on the bonnet look a bit clumsy to me)
or
putting a stick on one at the bottom section of the bumper in the middle.
or
possibly a square import one off to one side of the bumper.
decisions decisions...

Do not do this. I can say it will look totally crap. Period.
And when Begbie says period, he means period.
Period. 
P.S. He's right though, you know that?
