I've seen it before, but you can actually buy it.
I thought it looked okay on the official tuners orange car, not too sure now on a customers car at some angles...

 

[Felonious Crud]

Mmmmm..... not to my taste.

 

[Andyk]

Mine neither.....

 

[philw696]

Not for me too.
Having my Italian stripes is as far as I go on the body.

 

[highlander]

would need to see in the flesh really however this hybridisation does not work for me in either example...........just looks out of proportion but I'm sure some will like/want it.

 

[conaero]

Well it does not look too bad but stand back and the balance is all wrong makes the rear look weak and the car nose heavy.

I thought they really suited you 4200 Phil when I saw it at Bristol...You leaving them on.

Agree Matt, especially in that 3rd picture...

 

[Tinman]

I don't think I'd do it to my own car but I think it looks alright

Yes, its just too long, hangs out too much.

Looks very nose heavy. Needs some side skirts to balance things up, like the orange car has. Still best left alone though!

Yeah there staying on its my Challenge Stradale 4200.
Makes her individual.
Phil.

The GT is far bigger than the 4200, so why try and ape the style?...would be like grafting Barry Manilows nose onto the face of Claudia Schiffer!

Good, subtle enough to work Phil as they weren't too wide...I like.

 

[BennyD]

Sorry, but that looks cr4p; the grille is too big and the whole front does look too 'heavy'.

 

[Contigo]

Yup looks very very Barry....Manilow!

 

[Chrisbassett]

Didn't like it the first time I saw it, like it even less now. I thought it was just the colour I didn't like, but it looks awful even on the blue car.

 

[mowlas]

This is a franken-car...

 

[Trev Latter]

If it ain't broke...
