Looks like its a kit offered by Duke Dynamics. Preferred side look.

Its been around for a while that. Its being discounted currently as its not selling. You're right in that it looks nicer from the side. Personally the only thing that sticks out for me is that nasty bonnet shut line.

Shocking considering its a marketing shot!

One of our members -Z4MCSL ? - is having that kit fitted to his Melbourne red 35is. I love it :thumbsup:

Nope sorry doesn't do it for me- destroys the character of the car. Makes it look bloated and devoid of any class.

Not really into body kits, but that does look cool.

You can't miss that bonnet shut line, but also the front arch looks out of shape on the 3/4 angle.
