Thats a ducatro spoiler right? Wouldnt fancy it from the front but from the back it looks amazing.
The paint job is brilliant too. I discovered where that whole idea came from too the other day, the whole black roof and pillars and white car, think it was NSX-R that first had that concept?

Very nice work done on the moulding of the bodykit - pretty much my favorite FTO front bumper, side skirts and rear bumper. The addition of the wide arch really completes the look. Good idea to shave the front fogs/indicators and fit more modern/discreet items. The only bit I'm not gone on is the (fake?) vent on bonnet. The (powdercoated white) Kahn rims look ok but I'd personally prefer a nice set of gunmetal coloured drift style rims to finish the look - and a nice set of 4 pot brakes on the front would really set it off.

Overall though - quite possibly one of the best looking modified FTO's I have seen.

There's a few elements I like and there's certainly an impressive amount of work gone into it.

I love it, but I dont like the rear lights and black stripe.. You'd think with all the work put in he'd do something about the standard seats...

And where are the door handles?!

Love this car. Normally I don't like the strip between the back lights, but the fact its gloss and kinda blends with the lights I think looks well. Anyone spot the led strip in the headlights? Very tidy, and would be cool if they were the indicators.

I like this car, there are some things I would change though, most notably the rear spoiler and the Audi style LEDs in the front light clusters. Overall, its been prepared to a high standard, the owner should be proud of his efforts.

White car/black roof seems to be getting a bit common in the UK though.

The lack of door handles, fails the NCT. Safety reasons apparently. If you're in an accident, the emergency services can't gain access to the cabin.. :wink:
