Wow - I am really surprised; I like it.

Can't wait to see it done; it will attract attention for sure.

My guess is that they are there for a "park bench" trunk spoiler and that the spoiler will go back on once the work is finished.

Interesting transformation... will have to see larger pics once it's done.

I, for one, am really not a fan of that kit (the rear bumper is simply hideous and the rest isn't great either), but as they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder...

I like a clean build - even if it is not something I would drive; it does look very well executed.

Congrats!

I like it, well done essexgirlracer!
May consider to paint the rear bottom part to black?
It may look even hotter

Yeah the rims look cheap and tacky... rest of the car actually looks good though. The wing makes more sense now, but still not my cup of tea.

The Veilside kit and a parkbench wing are bad enough but pink...

I'm sorry that's hideous.

Wider wheels on the back?? i ha to stretch the arches by 2 inche to get them to sit in the arches, there 10.5j's rears! cheap... their volks! I got a set og 285 tyres lying about so considering these.
nothing wrong with being from UK, though people gotta understand not many people modify their 8's over and their is hardly any stuff avaliable and the stuff avaliable is alot more expensive over here (god bless gordan brown...****)
The pictures dont do colour justice the HOK pink pearl looks purply/bluey in different lights.
I aint a fan of gold wheels, the 7 has gold but i like the polished lip look.
Save for turbo now,

i'm not saying get full gold colored wheels. 19" gold face colored with a polished lip would look absolutely sick. OR 19" gram light 57S pro with titanium lip...we yanks like to call it BALLIN'.

That "park bench" is pretty common in time attack circles. Great job!

I don't like the rear bumper, but it fits the car. Those ridiculous side "louvres" are just weird.

Just noticed the angle of the park bench. You must get some serious drag (and downforce)!

funny you should say time attack the 7 is a time attack car.

yeah I do get loads of drag need to re angle it but I will have to get new arms, its from driftworx which do stuff for drifing.
appreciate comments each to their own but she aint finished always something else that can be done

Seriously?

You guys are referring to 18x10.5" Volk's as being cheap, tacky and narrow? LOL
