	A Honda Odyssey modified with an E92 BMW 3-Series Coupe nose . If this had been explained to me without pictures I would have shook my headstraight away but you know what? I think it works quite well. What does the RR massive think? Good or bad? Nice colour too.

	No no no no no... hate the wheels and the daft angle they're at, the nose works better than it sounds but it's still a fail. i do like the colour though

	Love it! works really well in my eyes. If you hadnt of said I wouldnt of guessed another nose had been chopped in, so thats got to be worth points. Awesome colour and I love Odesseys anyway

	That shouldn't work at all, in fact I'm not entirely sure if it does work, but I like it a lot. It somehow looks less weird than the BMW...

	I think that's really impressive. The quality of the workmanship is clearly stunning. And that shade of browny bronzy loveliness is one for my 'oofbank', but the car overall doesn't work for me

	I'm with 10mpg on the wheels. If you really want wheels that big and a car that low; do some fab work so they fit! As with everyone - loving the colour - its superb. Joe

	Aside from the camber and the rear lights, I think it's pretty cool! As everyone else has pointed out, the workmanship is pretty darned amazing!

	I'm a big VIP fan, so the slam, the wheels, the style are all cool by me! The front end is SERIOUSLY strange, it kind of REALLY fits, but REALLY doesn't! Looks too small, but in an attractive way. Colour is great - I agree, brown is the new black.

	A big no. Mainly down to the wheels and the angle they're at. Loving the colour though ;D

	I really don't like the nose on the new BMs but it actually works well there. The colour is a star, and the VIP look suits the car and the blend in amazing, it's so seamless. I like it, but I don't somewhy, but I'm still gonna vote yes

	Looks awesome, other than as said, the angle of the wheels, the fronts look good like that, but the rears just look a bit 'wrong' being cambered more than the fronts. Also the rear lights could do with not border lining being lexus lights, and there's something about the depth of the rear bumper, it's a little too deep and looks out of proportion to the rest of the rear. But yeah, as said, the front end works amazingly, the colours awesome, and it's clearly had a lot of work put into it. Looks good, but the wheels and especially rear bumper spoil it a bit for me.

	Looks very nicely done. I don't need to worry that someone else's car won't go over speed bumps. So I won't
