    Personally if that’s what the GP3 is going to look like I’ll not even be considering it. I don’t think the wheels suit the car and that rear spoiler is shocking. Oh well let’s wait and see ...

    You only need two tools in life WD40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should use WD40 and if it moves and shouldn't use Duct Tape.

    The spoiler is hilarious

    Do like the wheels though, the modern trend of dual-colour/polished wheels aren't to my taste, and less is more in this case - can't beat a nice 5-spoke


    Feet were made to fit car pedals. If we were meant to walk, we'd have pogo sticks for legs

    Obviously it’s a test car and not the finished article but far from impressed from what what we can see.

    I love the wheels and the even larger exhaust pipes but the rear spoiler is nothing short of comedic.

    I do like that rear spoiler but methinks that they need to do a lot more work on that front splitter.

    probably just some wheels lying about in the workshop they used. doubt the finished wheels will sit that flush in the rear arch, the rears are almost are sitting out from the body in some of the photos with a much lower ET
