Yep will see you there! I agree with Andy, takes a brave man to add a bodykit like this to what is already a beautiful car.

The colour is amazing. Very good choice, Christophe.

The body kit does make it meaner and more up to date, but it also makes the car look fatter, heavier - at least in the photos. Maybe it's different in the metal.

But I bet you have a one-of-a-kind car there and I bet you love it! Well done.

So you go and bolts some Halfords kit to it and make it more modern? If you want modern buy a Focus RS, A GT or even an Alfieri.

Beautiful car but old too, design was done in 1999 by Giugiaro looks old today...

I would say period rather than old, but adding a body kit does not unfortunately make it current or new.
You will always have divided opinion, I actually like some aspects, and dislike others. I wish the sideskirts in particular could be better designed, bit too slab sided.
I think if you add wheel spacers or change the wheels it will look better. Currently they look a little too small in my view.
Lovely colour, and it's your car so do too it what pleases you.

Love the colour, but will you get enough air through the modified front for the intercoolers or have you mounted them in a different position.

Definitely agree with the paintwork comments .This is the 2nd car I have seen over the last few weeks with contrasting Azzurro Argentino headlamps - is this becoming an odd new trend ?

I love the smoothed look; much better without the joins; I've contemplated blending those ugly lines - as per the 4200
