One day car designers will learn that sometimes less is morel agree Richdave, its like car designers such as those at HSV and now it seems FPV think these big wings are what everyone wants, to look like a v8 supercar. Ends up looking like a bit of a joke to me, there is nothing about it that enhances the car at all and it doesnt fit with the classy "European" understatemnet of the BA.Dont think the wheels look as good as the optional XR 18's either, but maybe be l am being a bit harsh (and biased) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot on Mondie. keep the super car look for the super cars on the race track! I've always thought the HSV styling had gone way past phallic compensation to just plain ridiculous.The understated euro lines of the BA are not enhanced by that visual pollution at all. Not that I'm likely to ever have a GT but if I did that wing would surely have to go... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
