Thanks Johnny! Now we are getting into ooof territory. ![](http://i32.tinypic.com/207xlzk.jpg) Now I rekon as above, but minus the bumpers, skirts, and sill trim. Then add JDM style wing mirrors.. Actually on the wings. Little round jobs, in black anodised aluminium. Total de-badge of course, and then move the front indicators out of the grille, to just below the headlights? The gold wires... Personal preference. Over the top for me. But anything from minilites to moon disks would look the part. I can't quite decide what I would go for myself. Come to think of it.. Chrome wing mirrors would be okay, as de-bumpering would reduce the brightwork overload. The indicators looking like grille buttons is growing on me a bit too. I could maybe go for chrome wires too. Same sort of look, less bling. (no, I'm not asking you to photoshop all THAT lot. Just thinking out loud.)

don't like 'em personally but I think someone needs to photoshop a 'mini sled' version, give it a solid roof, toothed grille, wide whites, rear fender skirts, nosed decked & shaved in flat black with an orange 'flake roof

I personally think the main problem with stock Figaros is those hubcaps they nearly all have, coupled with too skinny/high profile tyres. Stick some weird old J-wheels on one and they'd look top notch.

Black one on the wires looks super cool! Even a bloke could just about get a way with that, mind you I don't think i could bare the shame of meeting my mates and having to explain all the reasons that I have bought a Figaro ;D Pao looks wicked Thats what all women should be made to drive if they insist on driving a modern car.

T be honest I like em both and alway's thought a figaro would look cool on the deck on some small wide 13"s and that pic from Hirst proves it ! How about a grey one dechromed and debumpered on Fuchs for a sort of mini 356 outlaw style ?

Yay for a proper 4 page R-R concept plan thread! Liking all the input but Matt, your first picture is just clean and simple and really ought to be done Maybe some subtle scallops would make it even better ;D ![](http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c267/streetrules/Bettyro.jpg)

Stop it! I'm supposed to be a bloke, and blokes aren't supposed to get the horn for girlie cars! Really want to build a Pao now, got all sorts of ideas floating around my head...

Heh, yeah, know what you mean. I'm really chuffed with the KaPao - now I've got to turn a big pile of my mrs' money into something that looks as cool as that ^^ ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

That Gigolo would probably be a fairly inexpensive build - vinyl-wrap roof, bags, China wires and cheapie visor would do it.

Lowriders generally don't use curb feelers anymore, though. Going by some of the builds, they can probably afford to toss a set of engraved Daytons andreplace 'em if they get curbed!
