Nope. Sorry; don't get it. Alcantara headlining is the only thing I can find to like.
What a grumpy old git I am.

I like the seats?

I love a "slammed" car, but I just don't know in this case. The ICE throws it all off for me...

Fair play for trying something different, but there are plenty of the standard elements of this car that I can see that would benefit from renewal before spending money on neons...

The centre console, shift gaiter, frunk trim etc all looks knackered

Still love the wheels tho

Truly disturbing mix of 21st century technology and typical 80's fantasies.

My 80's fantasies had little to do with hydraulic suspension. Most had girl's names, the rest involved 959s.

Having Carrera RS embossed on the rear carpet and the badge on the back when the car is about as far removed from an RS and its ethos as you can get

> Most had girl's names,

Hope you managed to get a taste of the real thing, then.

He may have devalued it for purist by cutting chassis in places to except the modded suspension. On the other hand for the new generation who are into rice scene they will love it.


I am on the fence on this one I like it and hate it lol but if its a Toy and he wanted something different from the norm then fair play to him. The car sure does turn heads when he is rolling due to the stretch tyres and alloys.

The girl is pretty - could do with a few extra pounds though.

Airbags, incorrect badging, LED lights, super stretched tyres, bad handling, modified door cards, cut chassis - what's not to like

What happened to this ethos?

Oh fer feks sake. Why take a perfectly good car and render it uncomfortable and useless?! I like the attention paid to the interior, but it's no longer suited for the purpose it's designers intended.

Could they have something to do with the hydraulics?
