I prefer my cars to look understated - the X-power logos on the sills would have to go.

I'd love to drive around in it with a pipe and flat cap. Then pull up and get out to show off my slippers.

Can see the scuff to the front splitter, think the wing is just a reflection if we're looking at the same bit (drivers side arch?)

There is also some damage to the cover over the supercharger pulley?

Could have been a failure of the belt or pulley as it doesnt look like light damage

That is not a particularly good example of the SV-S to be honest - the engine installation looks poor - the proper ones built by S n R were far better and if that car is 150kg lighter than the standard car, I'd like to know where they got the weight out! It's something that we struggled with when we were building them.

it looks like they took out 150kg of bits that stop it looking like a kit car inside?
