This one has "Huw" written all over it

[Martin Pajak]

Is it just me or do the side skirts look like they came from an older 3

Just looks very familiar.

Otherwise if it was silver or black it would actually look not half bad.
At least the rear spoiler is not taller than the car itself.

Cheers
Martin
