    Subtle styling, standard body parts for standard look.

    Re: What is Your Modifying Preference?

    I've got an oval racing background so it's performance and handling before everything else to me, and I prefer subtle styling that emphasis's a car's OEM look. Done right, those little touches can always make a big difference

    However, I'm still very open to most modifying styles and enjoy helping other people out with those styling looks. Euro style Rover 100 anyone?

    after fitting cosworth engines to my bmw and toyota i prefer power and minor styling mods but certainly not excessive crappy fibreglass kits and stupid looking huge exhausts etc.

    Re: What is Your Modifying Preference?

    I like the subtle look, lets face it crazy bodykits are trying to make the car something its really not, always interferring badly with the looks imo. I voted opt 2 as there's no point playing around with a 1.4 8v spi. Just been subtley modding its appearence atm Hoping for a nice look, no crazy bodykits etc, just nice and smooth.

    Re: What is Your Modifying Preference?

    I have just enetred the world of modifiers, I have started of with the brakes, one must be able stop before leaping ahead, so just painted my brake calipers Yellow!! That gives me placebo effect and the car vstops much quicker than before.lmao
    if it wasn't for the earth , there wouldn't be any universe, mother earth gave birth to all the creation! and without the earths gravitational pull, the sun and the moon would have long gone adrift!
