IMO there is nothing worse than taking a car and making it look like something its not, get the best and improve on this yes, but dont dress something in another models kits etc as you just look daft when someone races you and leaves you standing.

Same with novas if you got a MK1 then fine make it look sweet but dont make it a mk2 as juist go out and buy one. So done bother with the Lotus idea.

Get the nova done give it back to your misses and you have the Carlton :!:

i agree with you there mate! same thing if people add GSi stickers to their merits etc just to make it look good.

Altho, doing the opposite I do agree with - having a GSi and adding merit stickers!! :D so long as you can put up with it, I think the real sleeper look is class, specially when u beat some1 that thinks its a merit!

LMAO quite true, the thing is just be happy with what youve got. Not everybody can afford to buy/insure the GSi/GTE's

So going with all above - Don't bother modifying cars!?

Why put alloys on your car? Just go buy one that comes out the factory with some.

Don't gullwing a Nova, go buy a Lamborghini. Come's with them as standard.

Might be extreme, but it's just taking your points and developing them further.

no marty i didnt say that i said I dont like it when people try to make cars look like something there not eg:: taking a club and making it look like a gsi, i said be proud of what you can afford and dont try to turn it into something its not, i hate replicas they stink fair enought take a car and modify it differently.

But make of it what you will as i am entitled to my opinion as you are yours :!:
