I will always maintain, the 480 is one of the few cars (along with the Mk1 MR2), that shouldn't be modded in anyway, bodywork wise.

Hopefully for 2009 - 1.7 Turbo.

Although, the idea about a widebody 480 does sound good.

How can any body in there right mind think that is a good way to mod car's...... they must just be total bonkers, nothing fits, nothing is fitted on straight, the filler hasnt even seen sand paper near it it's ruffer than a hedgehogs pubic hair...

I mean he must have took it there for a piss take right. :nuts: :crazy: :bla: :roll:
