I think I had something like that on my Europa on the Playstation years ago.  Perhaps the guy has Gran Turismo ?   :)

IMHO the aerofoil completely ruins the look of a very pretty car in a good colour.

I presume someone has worked out that the back end needs more downforce, and the car needs less straight line speed.

I have never had a problem with the back end except on snow or wet grass, and presumably they are not expected to race on either of those.

I cannot see the point at all of the modification.

When I saw the pic the word "modification" did not come to mind, "idiotic" & "blasphemy" did...
 :huh:

Really! That didn't look like it was any fun at all!

But why does the Pontiac look so bad?

I also thought that the Pontiac must have hit something, and then the Europa hit the damaged Pontiac.

If you look at the way the back wheel of the Europa is bent, it looks like the Pontiac hit the passenger side at an angle from the front spinning it around... :confused:
Hopefully no one here will ever have such a bad day!

Will be busy tomorrow, so Sunday eye candy is early...
I like the headlight covers, has anyone seen/sourced these?
The flares & wheels are da bomb too...

Is that at Paul Matty's place ? It looks vaguely familiar although it's quite a few years since I've been there. If so, I'd imagine they, or Richard at Banks, would be able to source them.
