I like how raw the car looks, although it has a lot of work put in to make it look the way it is. I wanna see it in action. One thing that really bothers me is the wheel fitment. Almost every widebody car I see has sunken wheels. It defeats the purpose of having such wide fenders!

I'm digging the race-prepped front end of the SCupra.

I think super flush wheels kills the aerodynamics, and that is the whole purpose of the wide body to begin with, more surface area for more down force. Flush wheels with camber sticking out of the body creates too much turbulence.

Good work on the exterior...apparently the engine as well, but the interior is a mess.

More than anything else though, WHY?

FIrst off I do like the car, although, w/ that much "stuff"....air foliage on the outside. That thing had better scream down the road! It looks fast.
