edgy Posted 28June, 2015 Report Posted 28June, 2015 I dig it... Wheels are probably not quite my thing but I love the approach, nice to see a narrow body done by rwb
Stew F Posted 28June, 2015 Report Posted 28June, 2015 That's kinda nice, apart from the front bumper. The colour, with the gold decals, looks great. Not sure about the wheels though. Period Fuchs would look nice.
clutch-monkey Posted 28June, 2015 Report Posted 28June, 2015 not sure on the finish on the green.. nice otherwise

Harvs11 Posted 28June, 2015 Report Posted 28June, 2015 what's with the sieves on the headlights? For straining bugs
Harvs11 Posted 28June, 2015 Report Posted 28June, 2015 Those wheels just aint right. Especially the fronts, the centres don't fit the rims.
clutch-monkey Posted 28June, 2015 Report Posted 28June, 2015 what's with the sieves on the headlights? old school rally headlight covers. same as on mini coopers
edgy Posted 28June, 2015 Report Posted 28June, 2015 what's with the sieves on the headlights? you just never know when you're going to need to bake a cake, don't want that flour all lumpy you know?
turboT Posted 28June, 2015 Report Posted 28June, 2015 mate - I'll be honest. It looks bloody Awful. Give me a call when you finally make that house purchase. You might need some help picking curtains

hugh Posted 28June, 2015 Report Posted 28June, 2015 Each to their own but not my cup of tea.............Replace the gold detail/highlights with black and appeal would increase 100% IMO.
tomo Posted 29June, 2015 Author Report Posted 29June, 2015 Bonnet straps,Headlight protectors suggest rally car, Body height and Flashy wheels suggest street, It is a shame the the finished car is confussing after al the high standard of work that went into the build of the car
MFX Posted 17July, 2015 Report Posted 17July, 2015 Why would anyone want a matt paint job? Unless you are painting it in the garage with spray cans...I like a lot of the finishes and the attention to detail. But some things are not quite there for me.
550Spyder Posted 17July, 2015 Report Posted 17July, 2015 I really like it. There are a lot of clever touches and it walks the line between period features and outlaw. There has been a lot of effort go into this. Unfortunately the colour lets the car down, a shame given how many cool 1973 factory period colours.
cyberpunky Posted 17July, 2015 Report Posted 17July, 2015 Well I love it, I love the colour/s, I love the wheels, I love the low sheen paint, I love the stone gaurds(what my Dad called them when he fitted them to the the Belmont). Only thing I am not in love with is the straps, but no biggie. I could never have created a car with thsi combo of colours, wheels etc but I do like the results. The oddball use of colour(compared to any other car company) is one of the things I always liked about Porsche, as they were bold to use Pasha, tartan, vivid colours, when everyone else played it safe. It's an RWB, so why on earth, anyone would expect him to do stuff that has already been done by Porsche, kinda doesn't get what he does, and to me it is just an extension of what Porsche it self and their owners, have always done, and thats push the envelope. Life's too short for bland, which maybe why many of us drive Porsches and not *normal* cars in the first place
