The original C4RSA when it was white and belonged to Dave Harwood, when Dave was one half of PVD. 
 
  
Stus 2.1 litre beast, Andy Nutt, Paul Porters SRi - later sold to Gemma, Unknown SXi, Unknown Aurora Sport, Gavin Gibbs, Daimos, Ritchs (Now a Cossvaux valver), Luke Toms (Smoothie SRi) and mine at the end! 
 
  
Ian from Scotland.  SXi with Steinmetz front lip, skirts, mirrors and grille and 17" Mim Raffinos. 
 
  
Lukes SRi on Irmscher Softstars next to the GSi that went on to win Best Corsa as it was very clean and well looked after. 
 
The engine pic was the car that belonged to Andy Bracey - one of the first (if not the first?) Courtenay valvers.  The car was bought by a friend of mine who sold the reg to Lee M who then sold his car (also a Caribic GSi to confuse matters further) to Renton from Redline.  Simon has since sold the car to another lad from up my way and despite a healthy appitite for drive shafts its still going well.   
 
Here's the car at the same show as the other pics were taken from, although the engine shot in the logo was the same car taken at a Bluewater meet.

Note how all of them have a lot of subtle touches but still manage to be individual? 
 
Even C4 with it's wheels, bonnet and exhaust had clean lines.  Why do people then go and buy kits that have been styled by people with no more artistic flair than a Cocker Spaniel??

No Scott, there's a difference between building an individual car to get attention and building one to own a nice car.  The two don't always go hand in hand. 
 
I don't for one minute think its a question of taste.

Nobody said anything about building an individual car  
 
im referring to joff's point in which he stated why people buy these kits (which u lads dont seem to like - because its ur taste).  Theres nothing indivual aboput buying a bodykit. 
 
All im saying is they buy them because its their taste , they obviously like them or they wouldnt buy them
