its a nice car but i don't get why people feel the need to stick additonal bits of plastic on nice cars.

Do the bigger wheel arches help with aero? if not then whats the point in spoiling the GTR's clean lines?

No the aero kit doesn't help and neither does the big wheels, matter of fact, I don't know of any company that offer aftermarket kits for any cars, including Hamann, AC Schnitzer, etc..(except Tec Art GT3 kit) that really improve on the original but that's not the point, the point is to each his own and beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Well its your car and if it makes you happy then no worries.

The most i'm gonna do with my Rx8 is remove the number plate and offset it so it don't cover the front grill for better cooling and perhaps get a prodrive spoiler.

semi cosmetic i guess..

I like it actually, subtle mods can still look pretty good and this is proof. :thumbup:

*cann't hold it in* Chav. Sorry.


No way, chavvy is a massive spoiler and disgusting paint on an £50 Vauxhall Nova.

Love it!!
Sure it has some 'plastic' stuff that people dont like much. But this is all done very tastefully; and this car is a monster, which doesnt necessarilly show on the std version so with a little twisting it will look the talk.......

I'm envious too, so... ummm... White is not my color :wink:
