+1

arches are stupidly too wide, i mean if you are going to do a wide track thing theres got to be a better way than sticking on some plastic arches

reminds me of those wide arched mattig astra body kits from the early 90's

i also think the high speed only-in-reverse front wheel vent is a bit comical :lol:

i think that might be to draw air over the front brakes

still looks crap though and not necessary, its not going to be doing F1 speeds.

agree about the arches, looks like a chav won the lottery and bought a 2 then went to town in halfords

looks like WAY to much tilt on the spoiler too. you need to create even downforce, not a levering motion

I'm assuming this car has been built mainly with practicality in mind rather than looks, take a look at some of the time attack cars, all low stance, vents, wide arches, diffusers & spoilers.

All to help go that bit faster or grip that bit harder.

Looks awsome i think.

Do you know what the engine spec is??

If it has a very high powered engine i'd want everything possible to keep the brakes cool and avoid fade.

Hmmm....

For a road car you want something pretty, you know like as a g/f you want an attractive woman. This is more the filthy hooker look....

but that front vent is just pulling air from the tyre area, not from behind the wheel.

regardless, i dont care what the spec is, to me its horrid and i dont like it.

show me a f1 / touring car with a spoiler that is that angled

The heat will be pulled through without a doubt.

Just trying to point out that some of the styling choices wont be for looks. Also without seeing the front it's hard to say if the rear spoiler is too step or not isn't it?? Might be like that to provide a nice balance with the front splitter.

I'm not suggesting its to everyones taste or it is a car to take to telco, but i bet it functions well!

Looking at the front bumper I'm guessing this car has downforce at the front to allow the angle of rear spoiler. It looks like it has been built for speed round a track not looks which is what I like about it. As for brake cooling if it has an engine to match the aero mods its going to need the brakes to be kept cool... I cracked my disks at combe last year after 6 laps and mine is not that quick....
