Default Bad Boy (Alfa RZ Zagato Spider)

check this out. Looks rather BMW-esque to me, in a mad mofo sort of way:

That is a *horrible* thing to do to an RZ. Hope it's there tomorrow, I may
have to firebomb it

LOL

There are some interesting cars on there. I was taken to the site by a
chap who said he'd happily live in a tent to be able to buy this:

Besides the wheels it seems to me a pretty much original RZ. Maybe it is
the front of the bonnet with the badge on top that gives you the BMW-ish
feeling?

Nope.....look closely.
1st: the rims, those shouldn't be on a RZ/SZ.
2nd: the rear lights, those are black.

Even i'm getting a large BMW-esque feeling when i see this.


Saluti sportive, Arjan.

Yes, as I said the wheels are different. The black lights in the rear
seems to be common on more RZ/SZ, see also:
http://home.wxs.nl/~evdbeek/monster.html

Only a short while ago the RZ/SZ car was praised to the skies in this
newsgroup http://tinyurl.com/yvdgq Now with another set of wheels (I
don't like them too) it seems to be a non-car?

Arjan

P.S. The owner still has the original wheels as I read.

Yes.....the originals have also black lights.
But it looks wrong if it's a black car, don't you agree?
Black exterior needs red rear light imo.
like on this picture of a SZ: http://home.wxs.nl/~evdbeek/szprod29.jpg

Hmm....original wheels eh?
Doesn't seem to be true when i see those pictures.
Looks pretty much like aftermarket wheels.


Saluti sportive, Arjan.

Hmm... matter of taste, but yes I can agree.

Yep, meant to say that the originals are still on stock if I am correct.

I actually quite like the car Does look a bit gasnsta though but
that's down to the black car and black rims.
