If we get enough demand, then yes, we may produce an alternative bodykit based on the poll results...

One A, but with the doorhandles above knee hight, please.
I really like C better but as pointed out, there are a few around already.
I'm not sure the bonnet on B will work on a wide car body.

Everybody is pointing out that C is "similar" and "been done" before but other than a slight resemblence with the door
style and perhaps,just perhaps the curve of the back with a Jag,i see no plagiate commited here.
Would somebody care to put the "clones"
next to each other so we can compare?
This is probably one of the better body designs in it's class for the last decade.
Even the color match is superb!!!
(Do you guys think i like this design?)

i have to go with B mainly cause i thats what i am hoping my car to look like i really like the way the back looks.
i fi could have the back of b and the front of a i would be a happy man
can anyone see fiat coupe in "A"?
i really like C it just looks so sleek and aggresive, but still friendly? do you know what i mean. i have voted b, because that what i am building.
but if i could choose anything it would be C what a head turner!!

Option B and C look best B being more 'innovative' whilst C being a bit more traditionl although still cool. Great work!
I am bound to order my body for my locost shall I wait for the new body design?

Personally I like the gracefullness of "C" I dont really like A, and B looks way to heavy on the front for my taste- too bulbess. Only
my opinion -I hope you dont mind but I made a very crude edit on B to a more traditional bonnet. If you dont want it left up I will delete it.

SteveT - We have been talking about your renderings on another middy forum. (big WOW factor from all btw!) The guys think 'B' would make a
good middy. Move the cabin forward a bit, add an engine vent and lower the hood line...
I think it's the answer to all those naysayers that claim a Seven-ish middy can't be done! This could be the spark needed to revolution
the genre!

I voted C
It looks like A with the angles smoothed out. B looks like a plastic jelly mould from the 50's.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

A is too heavy at the front looks like a caddilac. B is quite raw and pure and would indeed work good on a middy. C is my favourite although I
understand the crirism posted about it, but some detailing would give more original look. btw I noticed that the seat postion is quite forward. With a
lsis chassis you have too put a part of the door above the rear tyre because the position of the driver.

Maybe I'll do something with 'B' as a middie then, but not for a couple of weeks.
The bonnet line on this, and the other cars, is intentionally high to clear the 6-cylinder BMW engine!
Steve Graber - where's this other middie forum that you've been discussing these concepts on?
Best Regards,
Steve.

I am not familiar with the beemer engine shape but just a molded bump or hump to clear or I think the westfield black mesh one would not take away as
much as a full hump in the hood.

You have to be a member to join and it's really specific to MR2 scratch built cars.
It would be neat to see you work it up as a middie Steve T!
