Default widebody excel just for laugh's

me and a mate got bored and decided to make a cardboard bodykit for my daily driver we then came up the the idea to take it out to a cruise event just to have a realy good laugh.
its all in good fun even if its realy stupid well worth all the laughs at the cruise allso sent the pics into zoo fingers crossed it might be that stupid they might publish it in there mag.

Cardboard bodykits, always good for a laugh!

Id say that with the precision of the folds and the obvious resulting aero effects, that kit would add like 150kw atw easy.(tic)

nah what's even funnier, when fibremotive were at toongabbie in the late 90's they actually did a widebody kit for the X3 excel with the veilside front bar on it.

haha some good ideas here,
I did the same thing to a Dastun Stanza SSS, We sprayed red and blue racing stripes down the car (with cans of spray paint and masking tape) then we made a bodykit out of balsa wood, put a huge milo tin on the exhaust. We then drove it to a maccas drive through, with my mate tied to the roof naked (bucks night) and drove through chapel st pretending to be fully sick with the stereo pumping ac/dc (yes we looked like dicks, but that was the point). was a good night.
