is a VX220 (OK, a Speedster) allegedly thumbsdown




I'm sure it would have been cheaper to buy an Exige than to do this to a Speedster Turbo.

Nicely done but why?


Saw this at an LoT Croix TD. It is very very quick and sounds amazing. I seem to remember that it only lasted a morning but can't recall why. Techieboy and Pincher were there too so maybe able to help.

hi iv seen some body kits & done up vx220s such as the "MS body kit", some kits look amazing! dose anyone know where i could get one built/fitted? please help.....
thankyou


Seriously, you've bought the wrong car.

no way!!! that 220 looks wkd. thing is my one needs body work and i kinda like some of the desiges


Ok I'm going to give an honest opinion here on some of the parts:

Front Bumper : Not tooooooo bad, I've seen a lot worse but not my cup of tea
Back bumper: I think that it's not bad as long as you keep the exhausts nice and understated
Wheel arches: FUKC NO!!!!
Sideskirts: FUKC NO!!!
Mirrors: Stick out a bit, but quite nice.
Spolier: Just....gonnae no!

Personally i think the styling of the VX is Lovely and not needed to be changed imo. I do argee with the comment, you brought the wrong car if you more focused on the body styling, its allabout the driving and performence. Jim

Key word. ;)

Maybe they want the driving and want the performance, but want it to look a bit different. It won't change how it drives.

And in that vein, if the car looked like one of these bodykitted examples as standard, does that mean you'd all still be driving one, as "It's all about the performance"?

Incidentally, I'm against bodykits too.

Personally, I certainly wouldn't have bought the VX if it looked like that abortion from Steinmetz.

Just what a delicate car like the VX needs, an extra 20kg's of badly made, badly fitted bodykit. 10" wide rear wheels with silly profile tyres, a couple of catering size baked bean tins tacked on to the exhaust system and not to forget the all important trick paint scheme. That'll benefit the performance and handling no end. What we're clearly missing in the VX market is a lovely cheap sh!t "Veilside" style bodykit to make the car look like some Fast & Furious special. :sick:

What were they thinking? 4 pipes on a 4 cylinder engine? Needs at least a V10 to justify those pipes! Only adds weight together with the rest of that add-on plastic misery.

By the way, from what I've read about the MS Design kit it costs EUR 24.500 and has to be fitted in Austria by MS Design themselves. So please go ahead, and keep us posted...
