No offence if it belongs to anyone on here, but 3 bonnet vents?
What's going on with that rear bumper? :puke:
Like the rims though and it's in the best colour. :thumbleft:

I'm not keen myself, but each to their own. I was considering cutting out the middle of my bumper like this to fit a bigger intercooler, but I think I'll try and squeeze it behind it now.

When I was offered a cheap but decent 944 Turbo last year I hesitated; because it would have been a shame to convert it in the way that I intended. This is one of those cars that I could turn a torch and scraper to without a seconds thought.....

And the tasteless CGT bonnet scoop on top of a terrible bonnet bulge and the awful Nissan 200ZX headlamps are as bad.

Not good is it!
I like one bonnet vent a la 924 turbo and I'm not too phased by the badge panel.
But that bonnet bulge and CGT scoop look shite, along with the rear bumper.

Umm bit like Sophie Ellis Bextor, all the bits look fantastic but just don't hack it when put together! :mrgreen:
I may have to do the same to my PU once the blower gets fitted!

I would be embaressed to drive a car looking like that.It looks like something you would find on the cover of a max power magazine,waste of a good car especially if it is a proper turbo S.
