I love the build don't get me wrong. I just think the kit makes the car look like shit. Other then that it's a sick build.

I'm not sure, but it's possible that the wide body was necessary due to the drivetrain layout. Also, I believe it is all one off and not a body kit.

Maybe, maybe not. I'm sure that something of this magnitude has custom everything meaning that the wheels would probabally fit in "stock-ish" arches. I just think that the flares could flow better with the overall design of a Corrado.

i dont like the front end...i think maybe change that up...with a better all round color of the car could make it flow alot more.

sorry I took it as if all the body work was done. So it still need more work I take it? If that's the case then the jury is still out.

couldn't have used a stock body, the chassis had to be widened and lifted to accomadate the s4 drivetrain hence the body kit to stretch it. i realize not everyone likes the body kit, but it has more to do with function then form and i always applaud vehicles that follow that mentality. there's enough cavalier's in this world with stock engines (okay maybe an intake) and go fast body kits (usually in primer) to bag on, i think we can appreciate this car.

Nice project.

I'm with Jaeger and Dank, I bet the wide body is so they only had to shorten one driveshaft, instead of all the suspension and axles.

I understand that the widened kit is for function rather then looks now, so that makes it a whole other ball game in my book. I really judged the car from the pic having no idea what the whole build was about, which was wrong of me to assume he was doing it for looks.

So I take back what I said before about it. I feel like and idiot now. *LOL but the color is still bad. LOLZ
