Styling Genuinely cool photoshop

[Giacosa]

Found this on Retro Rides buried deep in a 600 page ongoing thread. I think its the absolute mutts nuts. I love the offset grille thats been adapted to look like the 70s Fiat logo or the Fiat Strada door handles, the banded mk1 steelies. I want it to be real :yum:

Just noticed the hammock seats were not photoshopped...:bang:

I would have gone for Barchetta handles instead of the fuel filler cap but nice chop.

It's been posted before but still

It will take someone brighter (or more bored) than me to find the original thread - the search function has defeated me!

There was debate over it originally then someone found the original pic in a brochure proving it was shopped iirc

Feel like this has been through a few times now. Cool but I think I'd be scared to drive it.

Amazing what you can do with 80's Vauxhall Nova wheel arches.
The customisers stock in trade

I fitted the same arches to a Nova Saloon with genuine Lotus Carlton bumpers and wheels, Calibra brakes (hubs and coilovers) and a XE running on twin Weber 48's.

But why would you want to change them... -- they're its best feature...!

If I were to do something like that now (I have a spare roof for the chop) I'd go all metal. The arches I bought were made by a company called Sumo Motorsport and were so flimsy I had to re-enforce the body around them.

Three inch roof chop, wide arches and a SuperFIRE engine maybe.

I would say that those wide wheel arches were inspired based on Delta HF Integrale rather than Nova, but they both look almost identical.

Looks great!

So who is going to be the first to actually make it?? Personally I think it would look even better in Purple with twin sunnies

I found it a while back on this thread

It fooled me too, thought it was a real custom job!
Here's the original photo

I should have guessed it had been posted before. I blame it on a hangover that allowed me to surf the net for hours guilt free

Even if the complex stuff like the roof chop never gets done it would be easy enough to make the grille happen.

I guess a chop wouldn't be such a height issue.
