What have they done :cry:

The only thing that looks ok on there are the vents on the bonnet...

...and thats it.

I like the rear bumper,skirts and flushed boot, not so keen on the front end and definately not the paint job, sorry to sound like an old fart but i think one colour looks a zillion times better than these two tone things, especially orange and blue i mean...orange...and blue????

who ever thought that would look good needs to stay off the drugs

I think it looks really good, not keen on the colour but thats just to get noticed. The spoiler and front bumper are the let down but you never buy the full kit anyway. I have those sideskirts on mine!

and have just bought a motobuild re-finished rear bumper for a 200 bubble.

Each to their own though

I agree skirts and rear bumper are cool.

As for the colour, im thinking bolting a meccano set to the spoiler will get it noticed!

Surely they mean
Commode
1 A low cabinet or chest of drawers, often elaborately decorated and
usually standing on legs or short feet.

a. A movable stand or cupboard containing a washbowl.
b. A chair enclosing a chamber pot.
c. A toilet.

I think b or c cover it.

i think they are cold air inlets.

if they are cold air inlets there is bugger all that they will do because of the venturi effect and the intake will be fighting each other....another motobodge special designed to raise an extra 75hp at the wheels?

rear bumper is cool, side skirts look good, but the front bumper, paint and rear wing

!! Oh dear! Anyone else noticed the one tinted window?

I thought the Venturi effect was something which applied to jet engine technology, or more to the point, afterburners and how they increase pressure to make it go faster?

Still, correct me if im wrong.

Anyway, the car. Love the rear bumper.. mixed feelings about the bonnet vents and the rest is just Chavtastic :roll:

A carburettor uses a venturi. It is how the engine accelerates IIRC.
