Giving FTO's a bad Name - Read this thread

You know, somebody actually complimented me on my driving today. They left a little note on the windscreen, it said 'Parking Fine'.

Saw that earlier in the year alright, it was just a work in progress, and the guy sold the veilside bumper after IIRC.

I thought the description of the front bumper was v funny... "the nose cone from a Klingon Battle Cruiser" :lol:

In all honestly the car is a bit over the top, but the flamers could learn a thing or 2 about the fto before giving it sh*t.

I dunno what is going on with the 4 exhaust pipes at the back though... maybe routing them into one big one would have been a better plan...

True, but presumably he'd have to put bonding and smooth over the rivet anyway, work in progress...

Me likes, apart from the rear light masks (project F lights needed methinks :wink: ). Can't see the exhausts, how did those turn out in the end?

Yeah, I'd also like to see them exhausts.

Though the car does look much better finished - guess he was caught in the wrong place at the wrong time.

I actually quite like the back bumper too...
