Immitation

the reason people do it is that generally the top of the range car is the best looking

i did it on previous cars like
my metro i added the turbo kitt and wheels
my first nova a 1.2 merit i added the sr bumpers and interior
my second nova a sr but added the gte skirts
mt first 205 a 1.4 xs i added the gti kit

and imo all the cars above looked better for it
 
Therefore, (with reference to Waynnes thread) S3 bumpers on an A3 is an improvement of sorts, not immitation. Type-R badges on a non-Type-R however, is a car pretending to be something it's not.

Without question it will look better. I can't deny that. But I can't help feel like it would make his car appear to be something faster when in fact it would be slower than the car people would think it was.
 
tbh imitation/replica styling isnt a bad thing imo you can have a nicer looking car for cheaper insurance
 
Don't get me wrong here... I'm actually fan of subtle touches from higher spec models... I'm just not a fan of a complete copy.

heres a good 1 for you then prince if you where given a civic type s would you take the kit off cause its not a type r :toung::amuse:
 
see not all imitations are bad!!!
and tbh my next car already in the process of getting will be a replica of a higher spec model ;)

I didn't say that all immitations were bad... In fact I'm planning to use some EK9 parts on my Coupe! I just don't like all show and no go... sometimes that's what replicas become.
 
Personally if you do a "Immitation" to be a exact copy why bother, lets take a Escort mk5 for example, I am sure that 99% of people would love to turn it into a cossie replica. a 1.4lx that look exactley like the cossie does look amazing, but to be honest would a car thef or vandal know that its a 1.4? I dont think so. Give the haters more reason to destroy what you work so hard to do. I dont agree with immitations, modding YES and changing bumpers and such yes good idea but to make a immitation replica not a lot of point, just asking for vandals and scum to destroy it. Just my opinion of course and opinions variey

I made a point about Cossie's earlier in this thread and the Cossie reps just Don't look good. IMO the Escort Cosworth is some that can't be replicated cause they all look crap....
 
the part i said in waynnes thread about the S3 front bumper and wings. this is extremly common and to be honest most people would hardly notice the difference.
and as said it does improve the look of the car
