Default Why oh why

Im not too sure about this one.

Only think going for it is the colour and maybe the rims. This is what happens when Euro's mix with Rice.

Dunno about the outside, but looks like some nice gear under the bonnet.

The front bumper is a bit wrong, the rwd or 4wd cossie turbo conversion would be something else.

Why cover up them lovely wheelarches with such an ugly widebody kit? Sometimes I think the Euro boys go a little overboard with the big guards. The more I look at it the less I like it.

The turbo is just above the headlight. Looks like Cosworth pulleys next to the filter. It's got some fat rubber on the back too. Apart from the front bumper I like it. Think the style is more German than Jap.

Before you go knocking the fact that it's widebody, and calling it crap (and I hate the kit and stickers, they could have been more tasteful), Check out the north/south orientation on the engine, which looks like an RS Escort Cosworth jobbie to me. It's most likely 4wd (or at least rear). And would definitey blow away most stock cars short of Lambo, Faz and Bugatti.

Nasty? Hmm yeeeea sort of, Cheap? No not likeley.

i reackon that EVO bodykit doesn't really suit for this car. Together with the wide body, doesn't look like a Ford Fiesta anymore. However, looks great under the bonnet..

they should keep the engine but slapp on an ST kit, the car no longer looks sophisticated with its euro design, that cheap kit makes it look like every other Mitsubishi Mirage Ricer.

That thing would have some serious balls. It doesn't look back apart from the front end.

If I was going to go that OTT on a Fez, I'd probably go for something like the mid-engined Renault Clio and an RS body kit. The reason why I don't like this kit is that it loses the original lines of the car. To me it's like all the VeilSide kits that were getting around Adelaide a couple of years ago, they rarely suited. I'm not going to like it purely because it's a Fez either.

Just had another look, still hate it, what they've done to the body may not have been cheap, but they've "over engineered" the look of things.

One of the initial things that drew me to the Fez is the simplicity of the lines & curves. But that body kit cuts all the lines, so in essence goes against the principles of design.

Geez I'm getting deep here! lol

RS concept kit might have worked better. If you google the site, they certainly do "adventurous" styling.

Yeah, that Pumaspeed kit is hot, but shipping might be a little frightening. I wonder how wild an offset you need to fill the guards too...

Still it'd be nice to have something just that little bit exclusive in Adelaide.

For the pumaspeed kit you need to buy axle extension to fill the guards will normal rims. Otherwise u can get MASSIVE dish rims.

not a fan of the front bar but the widebody is probably also to allow for wider rims and a wider footprint, if it's really got that much balls under the hood it would need it for traction and handling
