Hi all

Thought I'd ask..

My friend is a car designer and if I get him the CAD files of the B he will look at what he can do for me. Does anyone have a copy I could buy \ copy????

Thanks

i am working on 3d model in 3dStudio Max... will that be ok? but i am not very satisfied with results... i'm not so good in creating curved things.

That would be superb.

I am looking at this bonnet - no the front bumper.

Yeah - not sure about the bumper. I personally like the flat bonnet but that scoop could be okay.

I was looking for B drawings but also found these pics. A ace shot from computer game and a re-style idea here http://www.virtualcar.it/?p=7004

Yeah seen that around before, so glad that restyle did not stay!

Looks a bit 1980's to me

well that bumper is nice one problem i wouldn't get it off my drive or up speed bumps in my street :bang:

Being a bit of a philistine I don't see what is wrong with the original look of the b - I admit that lowering it and adding the lip spoiler makes it look excellent but lets not mess with the lines eh??

LEE - Being honest I do agree. I just like to think over ideas, some mad some sad. I had huge plans on paper before I bought my B, then I looked at her and made her a promise. "I shall make you look like new"

SO I have bought the new style bumper and going to do some work on her on my 2wk break over crimbo..... and I may just forget that bonnet scoop. Funny really as my Grandma is Italian and she would turn in her grave if she knew I was messing with Italian looks..... :idea: help me!

It's easy to get carried away!! Every now and again you need to take a step back and look at what can be improved, get rid of the rust and dings, fix the bits that are not quite right but remember - Italians have no idea how to build cars but by god can they make them look good!!

How about this:-

Smooth over the door handles and make an electronic door opening like the TVR from the wing mirrors?

Quoted £650 inc top of the range Clifford alarm.
Would you?

You would make a manual opening under the car in case of battery failure. :idea:

But the door handles are one of the best bits of the b

i have to agree with silverbarchetta. those door handles are unique...
few guys ask me where to buy those handles to put them on Punto or Bravo..
also a lot of peoples doesn't know how to open doors... i pissed my pants when I saw them how they twist and bend their hands to open it.... or they use both hands one for button other for handle.

no shaved doors on barchetta!

Hay I agree until, a frosty day! You know how annoying it is, she sits there looking cold and cute, you reach out to open her and nothing. The handle remains there.

But I agree it is a nice handle (when it comes out!) dam frost!.

So I shall see. I may do a photoshop of the door with out the handle.

Original - photoshoped

You da man. Comments??? Would you or would you not?

My good lady thinks your all right and I am being a c0ck if I remove the handles.

Guess your all right... How about just the locks?

More photoshop???

Why dont you keep the door handles and install the automatic opener on top of that?

well, it doesn't looks bad... i am about to install remote locking + lowering/rising windows after winter... and probably replace whole central locking 'cause is in bad condition, sometimes works but unlocks after few seconds...

Sir, you are as mad as a bag of frogs! Door handles are one of the 'features', also TVR have a door release in the boot just in case you get a flat battery, you could not do the same with the b as you need to open the door to open the boot!!
