Default Stumbled Across an Interesting S

Off of: http://www.farmofminds.com/2012/02/blue-s2000.html


Does anyone know anything about this S? Rear looks like maybe a custom AP1 bumper but what is the front? Are those the new Amuse fenders? Concave TE's on the front with non-concave on the back?!?!?

So many questions. Car is right hand drive so I figured it belongs here.

ewww

looks like a CG amis rear bumper and fenders. The front bumper looks like it COULD be a highly modified CG amis front bumper too. They make 2 bumpers one that looks like the ASM bumper and one that looks kind of like the Veilside front. This looks like it could have started out life as the veilside/CG amis front but i could be wrong because it would have been modified quite a bit to look like that.

Good eye... I actually kinda like that rear bumper, especially combined with the Spoon top and wing. I'd paint the mesh black though.

Man those fron fenders just don't match the car at all. It even looks like the front wheels are wider than the rear? Why would you do that? It looks like a work in progress because I hope they have a plan to widen the rear fenders.

Why are the front wheels more concave?

Not feeling it at all. I do like the front Volks. They are concave just like my 18x9.5 +22 front on my E92 M3.
