Boxob Posted November 25, 2021 Report Share Posted November 25, 2021 "Poor thing, just why?" I have to agree. I understand resto-modding but can't see the point of this. The mods seem to be modifications for the sake of modifications, they arn't subtle and, to my eyes, do nothing to improve the starting point. I doubt there are any mechanical improvements.

Mattman42 Posted November 25, 2021 Report Share Posted November 25, 2021 Was hoping it was just the front that was ugly, then I saw the back 🤮 only thing I like about that is the seats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EXY Posted November 25, 2021 Report Share Posted November 25, 2021 Hmmm perhaps it's an European thing. Italians know a thing or two about style so maybe it is just not to your tastes. Me, I quite like it but couldn't see why you would spend more when the original was just fine and dandy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the baron Posted November 25, 2021 Report Share Posted November 25, 2021 I actually don’t mind it, taking cues from the the 356 outlaws, the back end being better than the front, would I have one NO, but can see why someone might love it, the bits are all a bit too twee, not aggressive enough, lights and indicators too small, front lights too small, if you look at the 356 Speedsters it’s not go the same simplicity. Basically it’s trying to hard… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonogt6 Posted November 26, 2021 Report Share Posted November 26, 2021 I think it looks ok. If it lost some of the fussy details on the front it could look really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brillomaster Posted November 26, 2021 Report Share Posted November 26, 2021 yeah, its a no from me. it looks ghastly. though just realised, the company call it a retro-mod, not a resto-mod. so rather than taking an old car and restoring it and modifying it to bring it up to date, they've taking a relatively modern car and made it look old. which i guess i've only ever seen virtual renders of. like this 1945 bugatti veyron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That986 Posted November 26, 2021 Report Share Posted November 26, 2021 I like the interior tbh and the screen surround, the rest is junk though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This sort of metallic colour didn’t do the unorthodox shape any favours as it worked better in darker colours. Very smart packaging, clever construction and actually quite a nice thing to drive in its day. Proper 6 seater with a decent boot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I laughed out loud when I saw this! It's like they went to the aisle in Halfords where they stock the fake "GTI" badges and chrome wiper arm covers, and bought everything, went home and spent 20 minutes splattering it all over their car! What are those headlights and front indicator/vents all about?! That handle on the bonnet?? The front bumper chrome thingys? It's hideous! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
