What is X Factor? :D

Personally I dont like the canard extensions and I think the front splitter would have been better as a full undertray rather than just a show lip. There is no doubt that it looks unique and that the quality is superb but I think the car as it used to be was a much prettier package or just without the canards.

I have to agree with Dunk, I think the carbon canards look a bit OTT and I'm not really a fan of the skirts and stuff either

the car looked great before...i think these new additions make the car look a bit fussy

sorry Ian, this is just my personal opinion

I waited until you had the whole car done before making a decision or passing comment, but Im afraid i think it just looks too Halfords for me. Fine if it was tearing round a track and had other details along with these, but I guess the car is just too clean and pretty to be seen as a hard working car and as such it doesnt need these extras.

I know this all sounds contradictory, and I know you like to take the car on track so perhaps Im just talking bollox but its my honest opinion based on these photos, maybe it will be different in real life but I dont like the F1 cars when they start adding the silly side pod winglets and extra spoilers on the engine cover etc either so perhaps Im just not a fan of add ons on top of add ons !!! :D

Now if this were all on a 34 it would be a different story :D :D :D

Bit of an opinionated view as usual!! Halfords is a bit of an extreme word!

The car is used as it should be used and is occasionally used on the track but it is used hard on the road whenever there is a dry day so it is not just used to cruise about in and pose in, i use it as it should be used and try to keep it looking immaculate at the same time. When people see it cleaned up they think i dont use it but i really do!

I dont mind your opinions at all, it is good to hear from both sides really!

I am a massive fan of the TA and motorsport look both over here and in Japan so styled my car around some of the ides i have seen them use.
I know i have done the carbon parts mostly for cosmetics but they really do work for improving the aerodynamics of the car.

Totally dissagree & how you can say halfords I don't know :o It's good to have a clean car, I kept my 32 show & shine condition throughout the last 2 years. To be honest your talking "bollox".

if this was XFator you'd be l. Walsh & I'd be Simon Cowell, so the 33 is through to the final!
