Spotted this cheeky little Twisted V8 when I was popping to the shops. Required a U-turn and detour to have a peek and take a photo, but worth the extra 10mins

Didn't realise they do the bolted on wheel arches like Khan, personally think they are ugly-but that's just me

Those wheels/ arches must be wider than they look, the driver needed 2 parking spaces

The STTs were massive. Without the arches, (and I agree, not a fan), you’d never see it of the side windows. Looking at the photo, almost 30% of the tyre extends beyond the body work. No wonder it’s a V8, it would need it to push against the wheels’ so rolling resistance.

Like that, worth the detour to take the picture.
What we tend to forget is that a customised vehicle is designed by/for an individual, not to appeal to the masses  Just because you're offended doesn't mean you're right. |

Saw this again yesterday. Waved, nothing back. Disappointed. I’m hoping they’ve bought it because they like Defenders and not to be fashionable. But, it’s a free world. Sounds fab though.....

I don't like the arch set up either on these.
