Just because you can build widebody kit doesn't mean you should..

Absolutely ruins the lines of the classic 215 body, it looks over the top in the worst way. It's not an SL r230, the roof height (Among many other things) on 215 is too high to aesthetically pull widebody design off. The wheels complete the rolling Circus they've built, it belongs under a tent by the bearded lady booth

The car is from Poland but they're speaking Russian.

I like the fake exhaust tips coming out the side right behind the drivers front wheels.

I liked..... Nothing about that whatsoever...

And why was the rear left wheel spinning at such low rpm? Almost looks like someone screwed up something with the drivetrain somehow?

i could be wrong but i think that's a posi trac rear end, preventing the rear wheels from spinning independently and causing the tires to spin on turns (because the tire on the other side is technically traveling further)

The wheels and the color kill it. It wouldn't look too bad in black with nice wheels. I really like the front though.

Watch the part of the video where he's turning at low speeds. I think it's kinda cool actually but not really practical in any usage besides drag racin in my opinion

To be honest, I think these guys just went all crazy on the car just to see what they can do, it is clearly overkill.
