Do you not think that Porsche had the idea first to "cut out the metal in the petals??" The 914 baby fuchs did it first - nothing new..

All Magus did was change the shape slightly..

He's going to be going some to get it more "right" than this.

Yes it is:

the only thing that lets it down is that furry dash. Maybe Magnus will adopt that as his signature detail for 914's?

You can have mine for next to nothing now that he's ruining them....

:lol: The only car he won't be putting his signature touches to will be the 356. There is no way he can ever begin to think about dreaming about improving on anything Rod Emory has ever done... so why bother.

He's hairy but's he's not stoopid.

Porcha 356 is a Magnus free zone. :cheers:

I wouldn't be so sure - I'm sure I saw something about him wanting to do a 356 somewhere.

If he does he'll ruin it. He hasnt improved any of the cars he's fiddled with so far!

Perhaps Porsche marketing will 'influence' Maggie to pick on the Panamera next. Signature Momo patina wheel, signature numbers on doors, blah, blah, blah...
