The 406 coupe is one of the best looking cars that money can buy, without thinking too hard it's probably in my all time top 20 favorite bits of vehicular styling, there are one or two very small mods I'd maybe consider to enhance it's already damn good looks
But that one,
that's.....
just wrong!!!

Ummmmm not my cup of tea - i think the coupe is stunning in standard trim but it looks like a lot of time n effort went into this ( neat tidy job )..........so each to their own

Not being into modifying any of my cars, that doesn't do it for me. If I've ever done any mods to a car, it's very subtle.
Natural is beautiful in my eyes.

That is an absolute abomination!
So some chav thinks he has a finer eye for styling than Pininfarina?!!
I despair........

Now you say that, looking at the mods he did, he seemed to be aiming for a Skyline. I can definitely see a resemblance.

I think it looks good... its unique and different I think all due credit to the old guy / fossel ! !
I bet there aren't many that look like that does ! Wouldn't look out of place in a UK version of Fast n Furious... Just a shame its not fast
All that extra plastic must slow it down some?
I must admit there is a ferrari kit for the coupe and it looks sweet as !
