Bar the wheel fitment on the rear (as stated) that is one lovely Amazon with the stance working very well there.

As has been stated, I'm not a fan of the wheels either. Which means it's just a dropped 122, which I'd like to think has been done better elsewhere, I feel it's a bit tail heavy too because it's so squat. I've always viewed the 122 as quite a classy car, so when done like this I think they've missed something in the execution.
But then again, without people doing there own thing, where would be huh? I think half my problem is I'm viewing it with a broad European perspective. No matter what I think, anybody driving this about is winning at life.
;D

Yeah, it's trying a bit too hard! But it's got a lot going for it still!

This really appeals to me, the rear fitment isn't exactly as I'd have it, but the overall look is great. It looks particularly good in the rolling shot:  |

I think it'd be a lot better if the wheels had matching fitment front and rear. Maybe some cheeky mexipoke would be cool

What's bugging me most about this is that the front end looks like something is missing, but I can't place what. Maybe it's the wing mirrors or the towel rail or something messing with my head, I don't know. I like the wheels on this car, the shape and size are good, but it needs some bigger arches on the back or narrower track and I'd love to see that flaked paint touched back in again.
It's interesting, well worth a look, because it's a different approach to what I normally see with these, but it has the feel of being a work in progress rather than a finished article.

what's missing is some filler and paint on that wing.

What has been said already, its a fine idea, just not quite right round the rear wheels/tyres. Although the fronts arn't 100% my mug of Earl Gray either now I look at it more...

So to sum it up it is an Amazon that has been lowered, arches flared with awful wheels !
Still wouldn`t mind it in the fleet though to get it "right"

It looks excellent, the wheel choice is inspired and seems to be growing on me.
