Found this whilst searching the net for front splitters, not really my cup of tea (could do with a smiley for that). Just thought i would post it up here see what others thought or if they had seen one in the flesh. Whats your opinion? thumbsup

Certainly makes it a bit wider and bulldogish. Those sills are huge, surely the slightest amount of pressure on them would break them given how easy it is to on the standard car. I think it looks good, but not so keen on the stud pattern on the arches. Maybe too much grill up front.

I wasnt inteding on buying it i dont actually like it, think it looks cheap especially where it has been bolted to the original chasis. It reminds me a little of the SMART Speedster and we all know what an insult it is to be classing a VX in the same catagory as one of those the VX is by far the superior car. :groupjump:

heres another couple of pics of it at a show.

This is what they say

"MS Design Opel Speedster Turbo S Limited
Lurking in the tuner's hall was the MS Design Opel Speedster Turbo S Limited. An eccentric body kit widens the car by 80mm and includes 18-in. alloys that the press pack describes as "tremendous." Thankfully, the MS Design car has the trousers to match its mouth. The base car's 2.2-liter engine has been turbocharged so that it now produces 237 bhp, 37 bhp more than Opel's own 2.0-liter turbo Speedster."

The mirrors and paerhaps the rear wing are the only thing I'd have from the MS speedster, the rest looks a bit pants

Even more offensive it looks like they have lifted some of the ideas from here, anyone remeber seeing these chavvy machines cruising the streets. In particular check out the arches, notice the similarities. thumbsdown

I actually quite like it. Admittedly it would be LOADS better without the bolts showing. A bit more of a homogenous look and it be there for me. I found somewheer saying it was an abs kit hence the bolts so wouldnt really lend itself to beeing smoothed and blended in. Not sure how true this is though. Have you seen the mpm thunder?

It looks like the Opel GT, I've seen loads of them in Madrid but wonder why they don't sell them here? Like a comfier version of the VX!
