:lol: Well if that happens then I want you to shoot me because that's exactly what's happened in history time & time again! We conquered others because of (amongst other things) our superior firepower! Maybe that's what bugs me about that film - since when in our history do the less advanced civilizations win? It just doesn't happen. :dunno: The audience is forced to praise the Na'vi for beating the colonial "white folk" but in reality if we didn't then we wouldn't be sitting watching his film and he wouldn't be lining his pockets with our money! :rant:

My vents are part of an overall plan for improved downforce. Kara just couldn't cope with me having a better mod than her. :whistle:


How are you going to achieve improved downforce by essentially lightening the front of your TF even more? I'm sorry hun but I'm not buying what you're selling. It's aesthetically pleasing end of story. :p

OMG what a terrible thing to do to the supreme colour F, I can understand doing it to a blue or a green, but with white, why would you mess with perfection? ;)

Actually I like the idea of bonnet scoops along the lines of CCJ's and for the reasoning behind them, these ones seem silly even if they look quite good. I think that spoiler is pointless and ugly and the body kit and decals don't help, otherwise it looks fab........lol

I await the arrows and spears with baited breath :whistle:

I think that those skirts would mean a horrible grinding stop at the first speed bump!

I think that those bonnet vents are designed to keep the wiper motor cool:yesnod:

I remember a similar silly spoiler making an appearance on www.barryboys.co.uk
Ah here it is:-

Ooh I like the idea of an x-power decal so it's almost like a shadow/shading effect. Aah I do miss Slave's stripes sometimes. :cloud9:

i dont mind the lights if they wernt "shiny" i like understated mods

as for the ebay advert my god do thoes wheels look ridicules!

has anyone else noticed he's length-ended his gear stick? i bet the throws are horrible!


obviously im a modder and i horrible boy racer :p but the whole car looks a bit.... half arsed tbh, like he wanted a full on fast and the furious style car and then ran out of cash (imo thats exactly why it's being sold)
