    R56 JCW rear moulded to be used as a front, mixed with a fish lips.
    They should have left out the fish lips

    I rather like the straight-on side view. I wish I'd never seen the rest.

    Ooohhh that's painful..... Ha ha

    The side view isn't so bad at all. ... But the grille looks like it was designed by committee. Or maybe it was the big boss's idea ... "Oh .. Why yes... Boss that WOULD look great! Why didn't we think of that ourselves ?"

    And I can guarantee you that those wheels are going to get rock chips all over those spokes.....see how far out from the wheel they stick. (Just wanted to add something other than the obvious fugly comments :D)

    Wheels like those bother me. Can't understand why they stick out farther than the tars either.

    Yep it's ugly. That was for you Scott. :cornut:

    I don't see why everyone is so against it. I don't think it looks half bad at all.

    The guy's name is Ian Cooper? Really? :lol:

    This should be a Caption Contest! My entry:
