I'm quite surprised how much I like it .. although the front less so

I hate the front end (and not keen on the spoiler at the rear) oh, and the fact they used the word Restomod... Ugh.

IMHO:
Front is really poor, track toooo wide and all out of proportion, original is spot-on.
Love the interior. Would far more prefer that in my Boxster.
Rear is OK.
Why have such silly wheels? Is it a 'restomod' if you have silly wheels?
All too cartoonish for me.
Except that interior.

Not for me, looks like a Lego car. The area around the doors looks like somebody got the fit badly wrong, and I hate this term 'restomod' plain ridiculous.

Ok, so dare to be different to a 911 restomod. It a real celebration of the 70's. Would love to see it in the flesh.

Would maybe look better if the front was painted the same colour as the rest of the car - anyone tried Photoshop to colour the front in?

I'd be pretty cheesed off if was having hassle with DVLA for a rhd conversion or a roll cage install, and yet this gets away with being a classic car........W
