The buyer says - " Lots of people put that their car is a real head turner - but you do not realise what a real head turner is until you drive around in this - everyone looks !! ".

:lol:

Quite similar reason why everyone looks at a car crash - you just wouldn't be able to look away if you saw that.

Maybe like its time you let your kids loose with their crayons PT :lol:

The inside has that tacky ebay stick-on kit - looks good in photos - not good quality in reality though - NOI to anyone who has stuck this to their car already. :?

OMG that looks terrible. you're right the inside does look nice though.

a total of 32 fto's on the .co.uk site at the mo.
http://motors.search.ebay.co.uk/FTO_Car ... sacatZ9801

Did anybody notice this one while it was live on the site?
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2FAST2FURIOUS-MIT ... dZViewItem

NOI - but that is just as bad as the airbrushed thing - this poor poor FTO has been replaced with plastic and what looks to be a very badly fitted body kit. Me no likey!

Not a fan of that particular FTO body kit...way OTT. I do not think it's done by Veilside either, anyone care to clarify?

Also being a GR it will not be producing the claimed 200bhp. All in all they have succeeded in make a "sows ear out of a sick purse" to para phrase the old saying!

That he is! So what's better? That Final Fantasy dude or me spraying mine powder pink? I reckon the powder pink! Think that airbrushing is extremely artistic & impressive looking, but just looks the epitomy of tack on that poor FTO!!

it's a kaze aero craft front and bonnet, top mix skirts and that's about it, i haven't got the link to the site but it's meant to be impossible to get over here, but he's obviously not bothered with the rest of the kit, the rear fenders are "wider" and it's got a different back bumper on it.

Completely ruins the car.

I can do better styling with some twigs - a brick & a 3ft piece of old rope.

I like! Totally interested in seeing how it looks so please keep posting pics as it progresses! However, I'd be more inclined to spray mine using a flip paint. The main colour will be silver & the flip will be a metallic baby pink so that you just see the pink along the gorgeous curves of the car! I'll try & find an example on the net & post it here! :r

I never fully understood how those flip paint jobs work - some of them do look cool though....

Not sure either, but as far as I gather, you have a base paint (in my case silver) & you add as little or as much of a flake (in my case pink) that you want. So it can be subtle or loud or whatever. The metallic flakes come in different sizes too so they can be tiny or look like big flakes or metal...

Anyone else know anything about flip paints?

Veilside - a pretty aggressive looking rear bumper esp from the side profile.

Ya, I think its something like that... a friend was explaining this to me before... apparently the flakes are added in to the paint, but once on the car are at particular angles. How they manage that I don't know but it explains why its particular colours when you look at the car at particular angles.

The guys that I'm going to get my bumper done with do one particular flip paint, supposed to be good stuff - Rage paint, not many other places do it I'm told.
