So lets have a vote please. A poll please mods?

Who thinks this coupe looks good:
Hmmmmmmm, at least its was spelt right
Nice splitter.


Just wondering if its just me being a purist or am i being negative about this coupe?

I thought decals up the sides were left to escorts that usually say "cabriolet" or something. \:\( The real Pinin badges were replaced with team dynamics stickers \:\(

And i carnt be sure if its a wind up but apparently that night rider light does work. Its strobes the words "pininfarina" "Ferrari" & "too sexy"

as far as the 360 kit goes, i'm not a fan, horses for courses i suppose, but if going for a kit at the very least they should have changed the wheels for 20vt ones IMO. it does look a bit dreary in those pics, like its seen better days.

Like so many cars you see driving around, nothing says muppet / i dont have a clue more than huge decals, including large 'generic' tribal designs

obviously there are a few exceptions, regardless of whether you think it looks good or not you can see why some people have torque italia on tuned coupes, or huge reyland graphics on cossies etc etc, but huge, un-justified graphics look a bit vulgar to me.

No No No. I keep getting people moan at me for breaking too many. So i wont, im sure it will be put back on the road soon, coming to an Autotrader or ebay near you. Never know it may park next to you at the next coupe meet. Just the examples i guess some people are happy to keep on the road. I'd gladly hack it up, but it seems recent new owners think its wrong to even break examples like this.

i dont think there would be one person on here that would moan if you hacked that one carl.

go on do it.

it really does look like a wind up though as its that bad, keep your eyes peeled for a man with 1 funny hand, curly hair and a beard. looks like beadle could be about.

Carl, please, when have you ever cared what new owners have thought? All the established players on here (barring maybe one or two oddballs) appreciate the service you provide, not only in spare parts, but in removing truly awful examples like that from the road.

Do the decent thing and chop it to smithereens.

whats the mileage like?



\:D




seriously though, maybe it'd be ok if the tat was pulled off, and replaced with OE parts, or is the quality of the rest of the car reflected by those exterior shots as well?

Hacky hacky, chopy chopy - please, for the sake of the rest of us!

It does look dog-like, for sure.

But mechanically?

Surely, if it's mechanics are okay, just remove the dodgy graphics, and replace the knackered bumpers and skirts with better/new ones. And wouldn't it then be worth saving, (if of course is mechanics are good).

If it's mechanically knackered. Then, yep, chop it up.

Quite like the colour. ;\)
