That's more Aston Martin. Again Nice but not an Mg.
:dunno:

I prefer that to the previous offering though.

It has a whole new front end, as well as the rear. It may be just a very talented body shopper, but still looks kit car to me.

I have seen that basic design in kit car before, but I just can't put my finger on it at the mo. Will need more investigation.

The Porsche wannabe... why would you go to all that trouble with the bodywork and styling, but then leave the wheels stantard :shake:

I don't like the Aston wannabe, I think it could have been better if the lights were altered somehow, they look wrong imo.

Agreed the alloys are a bit of a let down in comparison.

I like the aston wannabe but TF lights would have suited it better imho.

So, it is a kit car in all but name.

It's not bad. But a bit dismayed to see that the track has been increased by 50mm with the use of spacers. i don't like spacers due to the extra stresses that they put on wheel bearing and suspension components.

I have to say that I admire the obviously HUGE amount of work that has gone into the conversion - unfotunately it has created a hideous monster (my opinion). The front in kinds OK, the back not so good, and neither seem to gel together very well... but as I said at the start it is a very well done car.
