	Think it's not retro? Hell, you read the title, you didn't have to click it... This is just the most awesome wheel/arch interface I've seen in some time. Brutal. Aggressive. Uncompromising. Rest of the car ain't bad either.

	Wow. That is nice. It does look to be very, very well sorted. Though, I could take or leave the bad boy bonnet. All its doing is covering up those nice headlights...

	the arches are a bit too much for me, like the rest of it though, especially the fuel system!

	No, it's not retro - but I couldn't resist 'clicking' it anyway - glad I did

	I like the battery terminal idea, though I think it should be more subtle. Like in the old fuel filler cap for example. Thinking about buying one of these actually... (Not a GTI, a Tdi, I haven't won the lottery yet)

	It does look nice, but I'm still not a fan of all out track cars that then compromise their track performance with a nice stance and camber. Don't really understand the fuel system either, they've relocated the tank to the same place but higher up. It does look mean as hell though, I just can't help thinking it wouldn't really look any worse with some chunkier tyres on smaller diameter wheels, and camber set up for corners not looks.

	Am I the only one that doesn't get it? Personally, I think it looks ridiculous. It has all racey parts glued on, but how can it be driven in any way (never mind on track) with suspension (or lack of) like that?

	I don't think its really about that, it's more "look at how different and interesting you can make a completely common and average car look, and (probably) go" Why not do it, as seth says. "Follow your dreams or you might as well be a vegetable" Quite a reply, apologies.

	^^Perhaps, it does look tidy - but sam1990 has a point, it's gone to a lot of trouble to look like it's a motorsport competitor, provided you ignore the fact that anyone into motorsports would laugh at it.

	My understanding of this car is that its a show car made to look like a race/track car. I believe its on air also.

	I like all of that with the exception of the BB bonnet, it's one of them mods which works very well on some cars and others... I'm not sold on. Non stretched tyres indicates serious intent

	I like it as a show car, but all i'm thinking is it needs BTCC style raised arches. Matt
