Thoughts anyone?

Good choice and very interesting kit, I would think of it as a cheaper alternative to the Sylva R1ot.

I like the concept of this kit, it's the styling that makes me wonder.

It would take very little to make it look better...........if you need any help let me know

Italo - we agree on something!!! - I saw it as an alternative Riot. I also like what he has done with the canted engine. Mine will have all GRP bodywork

Currently stripping the main donor - Metro GTi of 1992 vintage. I collect the kit at the end of July. I am also running a blog on it.

Would be nice to have it finished for Totalkitcar Live in October......

We do agree that sometimes we have different opinions, but that make good conversations.

Will be following your blog, and if you need to alter the front end styling let me know, in my opinion, that is the weakest part of this new kit.

I pretty much like the rest of the car, and the canted engine idea, is a neat touch of engineering .

Good choice of kit, do you have an idea of a complete build price?
