I'm gonna stick my scrawny neck out here and say I quite like some of the aspects of this in a Buzuko J kinda way. Look at the width of the track FFS !   Another version... Taken a tasteful route ?  From here > BARRY BARRY BARRY |

There are two distinct differences between those cars that turn a hottie into a nottie.
Paint: The colour flip paint is all "look at me" show-off styleee.
Wheels: Not the size or style but the way they fit the arches perfectly on the white one but are lost hanging about in space on the "flip" one.
I also prefer the way the arcehs are done on teh white one but that wouldn't matter on the other one if the wheels fitted properly.

never been mad on these standard, so i'm undecided too. It could be a lot better like the white one. not sure it deserves a beating.
as for that Corsa, FFS don't let them see my Sapphs tyre! ;D

 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts  |

I kinda like that flip paint. I had loads in to do my Pop with and some for some misc other project, but when it came down to it, I decided to go with a single colour. Then I eBay'd the paint off.
Barry Boys I don't have much time for because they slam anything modified. Its all very smug.

Hopefully it's pre-stick'd because I reckon that wouldn't look too bad if it was down another 80mm or so. I'm sitting on the fence over the flip paint, but the all-clear rear lights are no good - I'm not a fan of those at all.

actually, just checked the thread and they seem to have calmed down a bit from when I was last on there. So I withdraw my snide comments about smugness. Excepting for the comments about ex-council houses and the like. Soe of my best mates were brought up in coucil houses. We weren't all born with a silver spoon and a reserved space at the local prep school.

I wonder why curse word wheels,a bodykit, clear lenses and chav paint are acceptable on a Lexus but not on a corsa or saxo?
Double standard?
I'll take the white one, without the kit, and bean can exhausts. And if it could be black too that would be ace.

Oh, I'm not against flip paint as such I just think it doesn't help that car's case. The white one proves that when done well the style doesn't need that gimmick. |

I think the wheels are the best bit, just Tooo big, and mad offset! liking the bosu backend but i guess its mainly showy. To be better than barry boys, can we open up a lexus photoshop Tony hart gallery or find some more smart ens?  i'd kick things off but only got Corel here.  |

I'll be honest - you liked that much more than I thought you would ! I expected a roasting (not in the football groupie sense ) The white one is spot on IMO though I would feel a t!t driving it in Doncaster ! The flip paint is shocking - I hate it on all cars - TVRs seem to have a liking for it... why ? NONE of the top car is right but it's getting there in areas i think. |

i love the fact it took 2 pages to find out what the car was, and even then the bb bods didn't get it right, its got differeent shaped rear lights from the toyota one too. too busy putting other peole down to care tho i guess.  on a completely relevant note, id like the flip one if it wasnt for the spoiler, and it had similar styled lights to the white one and not completley clear |

Not keen on the flip paint or clear lights, but otherwise I'm glad it exists. Those exhausts need to be pointing up in the air though.

I don't think they have the ironic element that they need to pull off that look. I prefer my VIP'd cars with a lot less kit, I think.
