    That "R8" is hideous! The Cougar was never a looker in the first place, and adding a kit to it makes no difference whatsoever!

    Has anyone seen the R8 kit for the TT? I saw some pillock cruising around Central London in one the other day, and it was fairly convincing. However, it did nothing for the gentleman driving it, as he still looked like an estate agent!

    All replicas are tat, with the exception of AC Cobras and GT40's IMO

    What the...
    Full marks for effort and enthusiasm, but it does look like a very poor outcome from "Pimp my ride". Even if some poor sole was fooled by the look, surely absolutlely everything else would be a give a away! £25k could go a long way towards a proper car

    Not my cup of tea, doesn't look like the real thing.

    I've seen a guy round my parts with a Ferrari 355......until I was browsing Autotrader and found that he was selling it for about £8K. It's the Toyota MR2 conversion. You couldn't tell really, but at the same time, once you find out you think he's a bit of an egit (can't think how to spell that properly)! If you can't get the real thing, why do it? Each to their own though

    The Plastic F355 is one of my pet hates. I have to agree from 50 yards they look like the real thing. Some (there are one or two kit car companies do a Plastic Pig) are better than others but in general they never got the proportions correct. The rear end is dramatically widened with big wheel spacers. The rear buttresses are all wrong too. I consider myself a keen Ferrari fan but admit I have been caught out on one or two occasions, especially when coming down the road towards you.

    I do hate replicas but this company have got the proportions right for the Murcielago. I still think it is all for show. "Hey look at the car I have (It is f*$%ing plastic) "
    Thing is by putting a link to this company I am advertising free for them. Please ignore it

    That murcielago replica does look very good. Got me wanting one for a sec....how hypocritical is that! It looks great in white as well. Lambo won't be happy with them!

    No worries I too agree it looks the part very impressive and a fair bit of thought has gone into it. That is it though, it looks the part. These cars (the real thing) are more than just looks.
