That's flocking awful!!

Ratty already beat me to the Dumb and Dumber gag.

It would probably look ok if the whole car was done but with just the front it looks like it's just been crashed into a black sheeps shaving pen.

Each to their own though, i appreciate the effort you've gone to and the actual job you did on the flocking is top notch :)

Ps. It'll start to smell when it gets wet. Like a wet dog smell. it'll hold in the damp. Someone i used to know did this to the roof of his jap import old school Nissan as when he got it it had a dodgy grass looking material on the roof??

Nope, not a fan of the flocking at all. Car looks great white.
If you like it though, that's what matters most.

Interesting, I thought I'd get more 'dislikes' than I actually did.. it does look a little crazy I admit, but I have had loads of people ask me about it in the street/petrol station/Tesco's ..and everyone seems to love it, especially with the headlight covers, it looks like its wearing a mask. Pictures really don't do it justice and when daylight starts to fade it looks mean as hell.
I like being different and it definitely is that!! Thanks for all your comments, views and opinions, I appreciate them all :)
