Hmmm that is debatable I must admit I do like the ass-end of the Pumas but saying that I love the ass end of the Coupe too

(Yep i was on about the back originally, then the comment after i meant generally from a distance on the road, apologies for confusing you and posting pointless links \:\) )

Contrary to what a couple of other have said, I prefer the coupe with body coloured sills, or body skirts.

With the black sills the car looks too high off the ground.

Each to their own though. I will probably get some LE skirts and lips as soon as finances allow.

I agree and if the courts make the guy who screwed up the paint job on mine pay for it to be put right I'm def adding LE lips and skirts. It totally lifts the look by lowering the look!!!

I agree.

Some full frontal shots at certain angles and heights make it look a bit awkward like in this pic from a current car ad in Ireland. The car looks tall and narrow as opposed to low, wide and squat!

I've passed BigIan a few times going opposite direction (identical coop to my own) and thought eww not so nice for some reason but cant put my finger on it. Also had a red one in my rear view mirror and thought exactly the same, again cant put my finger on it. Maybe its the height I see them from when driving. Also when I first gt it a mate lookin side on said it reminded him of a ford puma...Told him I hated him for that comment and never to let it pass his lips again, though in that case I think he was concentrating on shape of the side windows, especially to the rear of the car. Anyway the absolute best place to view the coupe from is the inside lookin out on the rest of the hum drum motors


i think the coupe is colour sensitive, i would never say that i thin they look bad in any colour, but personally, i prefer dark metallics ratehr than solid non metallic colours..i think the dark met. paint gives the coupe a much classier look...but then, im very biased!!!....

sometimes ya gotta see the coupe, your coupe, driving to really appreciate it...sometimes when my mrs borrows it and drives away from the house i think..phwooar, lookit that....(and the car aint to bad either...!!)....thats my brownie points for the week accumulated in one fell swoop,.....!!

That could well be a goer daithi. Am waiting to hear from solicitor about a court date, which he said would be sometime after the summer. I dont like tempting fate but hopefully I'll be asking you about those skirts and lips again in the next few months....touch wood.

Totally agree about colour sensitive even though it is hugely subjective. I really like my silver/grey with the black leather...classy exec look imo unfortunately the world is coming down it seems with silver cars...seems to be default colour for mercs and bmw's. Anyway even though I love the subtle nature of the silver I'm really getting to love that solid blue...which i think i read on here was used to enhance the shape of the body.

Couldn't agree more.

If you think that - colour sensitive or otherwise - that it looks good here, then you're mistaken. IMO, etc etc.

It looks bloody awful, let's face it.

Only angle of the coupe I dont like, is when i see the bonnet from the side at same level as it. Or if just half the bonnet is poking out from another car next to it. Looks like a weird frog lol. I'll have to take a picture to explain, But I apart from that I think it looks gorgeous in every other way!

LE for me on the exterior, but I prefer the Plus interior.

Yep, standard. I don't like the LE titanium coloured bits or the interior but I do like the later recaro interiors

Coupes worst angle is the angle it makes as it's being winched onto the back of an AA truck again \:\)
