Obviously the reviewer in the original post (in French) was not a fan! Personally, I like the concept although I don't really approve of add-on doodads that serve no purpose. It is fun to see people personalise and play with the design of the 986 which, quite frankly, one can pick up for peanuts these days. I do love the paint (wrap?) on this car though!

You mean "...Qu’est ce que c’est moche !"
Hahaha


Yeah, I'm not a fan. Wasn't a year ago when this was posted here, either.

I do love that people do what they want to do to their cars. And when the quality is high, even better. But I prefer form to follow function, and not vice versa.

No, I didn't mean it like that. Sorry.

I've zero problem with the thread.

I merely meant that the car isn't growing on me, like some things do.

No, I think you were right.
I think the "spokes" on Fuchs wheels were referred to as petals. As in.... flower petals.
