Aston Miata?
Not one for making Car A look like Car B but this is kinda cool. http://www.leftlanenews.com/2006/07/...tin/#more-3397 -- Scott Streeter http://www.wpi.edu/~ss/ |

Aston Miata?
Did you look at the full size pics, or just the thumbnails? Looking just
at the small pics on the page you linked, it looks kinda cool. But when you see the full size images, it's really rather hideous. -Scott Scott Streeter > wrote in : > http://www.leftlanenews.com/2006/07/...to-an-aston-ma > rtin/#more-3397 |

The headlights aren't bad, though. -- Grant Edwards grante Yow! My DIGITAL WATCH at has an automatic SNOOZE visi.com FEATURE!! |

While I agree that from the straight on, side view, it's clear that the
proportions are askew, It's the most original miata transformation I've seen in a long while! It looks to me like it could be amazing with some adjustments (shortening the nose and the butt a bit). Nice work!

It looks to me like it could be amazing with some > adjustments (shortening the nose and the butt a bit). The too-long nose seems to a feature of Aston-Martin styling from what I've seen. So maybe this Aston Miata is actually true to the inspiration... |

Okay, I actually like this design. Maybe the problem with the point of
view you all have is that A) You're looking at it as a mod for a Miata (I know it is, but just *pretend* it's a different car.) and B) You're thinking of it as an AM imitation. Try thinking of this as its own car. I think it's gorgeous. Maybe a bit long in the door panels...but still. Rethink... -Nick Scott Hughes wrote: > Did you look at the full size pics, or just the thumbnails? Looking just > at the small pics on the page you linked, it looks kinda cool.

I aggree. This is one of the better body kits. It's actually pretty handsome, rather than just being different for different's sake. -- Lanny Chambers '94C, St. Louis http://www.hummingbirds.net/alignment.html |
