different, but i like it. colour scheme is good.

i think the front looks sweet, the white blends into the black really well................but at the back it just looks like you put a white spoiler and bumper on without blending it in.

I like that

But I agree you need to do something with the rear spoiler and bumper. They need blending in, at the mo they just look stuck on and out of place.

I am usually for clean styled cars but this is obviously a little more fun and for that I like it!.

i accept it like marmite , but i got it because i been down the normal and shiny route before to me thats not wot scoobys are about, at the end of the day there rally cars not show cars (really sorry if that offends), and its sometimes good to be different ,
theres not a lot i can do with the spoiler and bumper as the dark parts not vinyl, so any ideas would be accepted guys.

Yikes, that's hard to read...

Mind you, your car is quite difficult to look at too....

if the whole car was white with a few less graphics it would look really nice, You can tell you have spent a lot of time and effort on it and if you like it thats all that matters. You can always change some bits when you get bored.

Fair play on the time and effort spent, but in my eyes, that is bloody awful.
What sort of look were you going for anyway?

I really am having trouble understanding what you are saying. However I do understand that you love your car. It isn't my cup of tea & you posted pictures on a public forum for critique, so I'm afraid you are going to have to accept that other people don't share your opinion. Don't let it bother you though, it's your car & you get to be seen in it, enjoy!

Can't decide if I like or not. I like most bits of it, like the colour blending on the wheels, but "something" just doesn't seem right, and I don't know what it is.
But overall I like, I think.
As already said, as long as you like it THAT is all that matters.
Maybe I'll see it in the flesh one day.
Any before pictures?

i think its more of see it in the flesh car, as many before have said, not sure about this and that, but changed there views once they have seen it, like there say to me pics dont do it justice.

I don't think it looks too bad from the front.
But the colour clash and "in your face" graphics at the back don't do it for me tbh

But like you said, it's a marmite car, and if it's different that your after you sure as hell acheived it.

the wing is blended into the door with the 'graffiti/writing' whatever you want to call it.

why dont you get some vinyl stickers made the same as that writing, then blend the back bumper and spoiler in the same way.
