I would be really proud to own such a car, and also if I could build it.
Yes, this is a car that is build to be driven. But for 164K USD you want it to look better then 'a driver'.
I simply see too many small things that could have been solved for under 50 euro's / problem.
Not that you need these when you're into driving fast, but hey; it's sooo easy to get that right!
Why no rubber under the door? Sure will get a lot of wind noise & dirty doorjambs when doing 100mph/180kmh. Same for the rubber not installed on the vertical edge of the door, at the skin side:
non smooth vinyl: looks plain scruffy:
Chrome blistering on the doorhandle:
scratches on mirror glass:
missing under hood light switch & scruffy bulb holder in red (?) paint:
,
missing black caps on the trunk hinges:
missing black sticker on the seat pull chrome cover (they are only 10 euro/side! ):
Some other funny things that are a bit more expesive to fix, but very "in-my-face":
- What's up with the fender trim being too short (and non aligned to door trim) ?
Why not fill the hole in the wood with the appropriate belt hook (even if you don't use it)
messy center console with scratched alu plates and chip missing from chrome cover:
and even the spare wheel well of my daily driver = family van = holiday campsite car doesn't look soo bad:
So I think in understand why it doesn't sell. It wouldn't sell to me, if i had the money to spare.
