It looks like someone got a Halfords voucher for Christmas!!...............Shame, because it has been very well executed and the alcantara/suede interior looks great apart from the pattern

Well....

It would be wrong to down the person who has done this as he's obviously spent his pension on it!

I like the colour, I also like the front bumper and the bonnet scoops. The rear bumper, Im not so sure but its not terrible.

GS side skirts are better. I don't like the wheels, the bonnet strip and the accents and, well, the use of carbon wrap is just too far for me.

Interior, you can tell the trimmer who did it is exceptionally talented. Even the headlining is reosculptured to flush the sound visors. I just feel again its too far with the Lambo'esque diamond patten and the beige paint used on the interior grills is terrible.

But credit where credit is due, the craftsmanship is first glass, they just needed to stay off the psychedelic drugs!

Em, yeh. In a strange way I quite like it but there is no way I'd want it. There are bits I like and bits I don't. I think they must have got a job lot of carbon wrap and those wheels, although nicely made, look like they came off a Gas Monkey Hot Wheels toy.

With Matt in this... great craftsmanship but style is lost.

The hexagon stitching would need to match the grills or something else as it fits in with nothing at the moment.

Originality is the key to selling a classic car. I know one for sale that's completely original, apart from the Maverick Go fast Metal Pedals...

Nowadays lovely cars like Maser 4200's have to be completely original to be worth anything, even down to the service records and other stuff, you can't blag anything!

The hotrod days of the early 2000's with loud non standard exhausts and non standard type wheels etc are long gone!
