I wonder if its the right shape - probably not

Hmm ... May be too big ... And going off memory on how the Rover looks, it is pretty chunky..

What i'm looking for is something that will be an easy mod that everyone can afford. Maybe something abit outside the square.. like universal bonnet vents in the rear bumper or using materials that haven't been used in the street machine scene before.

I think your right. My cousin has one and by memory they are big, even on the car.

I think bmw vents could look good aswell

do fenders make you go faster? ... the effort doesnt look like its worth it

I do not see how the math doesn't make sense on that..
lightweight = faster

The main reason for it is to have something customised to your taste .. if you have fibreglass guards you can shape it however you wanted without expensive metal fabrication..

I like crazy ideas

I also have a crazy idea but I will save that for another time.

^^No problems. I was thinking I should get a start on this soon. I have exams and studing to do over the next 5 weeks but after that should be sweet.

What were you thinking?

I want to see the maserati gran turismo front bar on an FTO ..(keep the FTO lights of course)

alekazam · Post by **alekazam** » Mon Mar 16, 2009 10:50 pm

I like that more then the DB9 bar

I really think this works for an fto..

though the Maserati's look a lot like FTO's to begin with..

Post by **I8A4RE** » Tue Mar 17, 2009 8:02 am

Oh HELLLLLL no

Maserati GT is my all time fav ride, it screams pure class - if I could have ANYTHING in the world, it would be this! I couldn't imagine anybody imitating it, the pic above is a disgrace to the maserati gt

mmm ..I have seen a few Maserati's around lately (probably the same one each time) & I would take one over a DB9 any day.. i think it's because they just have a more aggressive look about them..

sublime19 · Post by **sublime19** » Tue Mar 17, 2009 9:36 am

Yep, and they have more "class" than any other car I can think of. I dunno if it's just me, but it's very classy without being too snooty like a Bentley and not aggressive enough to be be classified as a rich man's sports car.

That looks HOT and great photoshop too. Can you blend when the camera angle is diagonal to the front of the car? Because I've been having trouble getting that to look right.

the best way to do it is to go out & take as many shots of your car from different angles / heights etc as you can & then you will have a better match to line up with whatever pics you grab off the net..
