Just thought I would post a few comments about the car.

I live very close to Coyle and have actually spoke to him once or twise (although he wont know who I am ;)). ive seen the car through a number of transformations and have seen it up close once or twise. Admittedly, ive never had a proper good look at the car but have seen enough to know its a quality job with alot of attention to detail.

I have to admit though, I dont like the car in the photos. Whether its just how they have been taken etc, or not, isnt the point. Looking at the car in the photos, I dont like the front bumper and the wheels look all wrong to me. I can understand why a few people on this thread have either said you have taken it too far or ruined the lines of the car etc.

When I first saw you post pictures of the new front bumper, I decided you had ruined the car. It looked all wrong to me and I thought you had taken it too far with the smoothing...

That was until I saw you drive past once.

:eek: Wow :D

At this point, you still had the black stilo alloys on. The car looked fantastic on the road and I loved the front end. In the photos, you really dont see how low the car looks. The stance is completly different in real life and the front end works so well.

A few weeks later I saw you parked up in Tescos petrol station. this was the first time I saw the car with the new wheels...

:eek: Jesus :D

The car transformed from a stilo with smooth bumpers to a complete show car with one single mod. Admittedly, the style of wheel would not be my choice and in the photos, Im not too keen but to see the wheels in person, they are amazing. Gorgeous wheels on a gorgeous car. They just work. (y)

All that said though. I still think its ugly in photos :p This really is a car to be appreciated in person. Photos do not do this car justice and to anyone that doesn't like it... I garuntee you will change your mind once you stand next to it :) :worship:

Nice one mate! thanks very much!
just get's me thinking, you dont like it in the photo's and you think its good,
what would the people that do like it think if they saw it? :D
i reckon it's the way i take pics.. ie.. im crap lol
its in next months Max power, and the pics the photographer took are amazing! some of the people that aren't too kean might be more impressed :)

i agree with you too, photo's cant do it justice, its so hard to capture everything in a picture, you need to see it on the road, particullarly the stance..
people won't realise how low it is from the pics you see on here.

and also agree on the wheels, they were the finishing touch. that took it from a nice car to a real head turner! and they compliment the styling of the car completely!

so come on then... WHO ARE YOU? haha and where you from? :p

just looking at your car and wow you clearly have far to much money on your hands lol i think ill lend you my 1.2 see what you can do with that lol
 
i hear that said alot.. that people obviously have to much money, and its hardly ever true. It really grinds my gears when people say that. Its obviously coyles passion his car and so he's spent loads, if you want it bad enough you'll work hard enough to get it. I know loads of 'well off' people into cars and none of them have a car as outrageous as this one.

I'll be the first to admit that i don't have the same kind of dedication to my cars, i love them to bits but i know i will never build a car that is this far gone, I have nothing but respect for people who do though. It got naff all to do with finances, i'm just not that inclined to spend as much time, cash and effort as others are.

rant over.
