Looks great to me, it's a classic body variant. Get rid of or reduce the decklid spoiler.
Why "no"?
Why "no"?

C'mon folks let's be specific. Can't just give one word replies.
This car rocks.
Shooting brake body - excellent
Orange calipers - excellent
Bronze wheels - excellent
Silver metallic (or whatever they call it) paint - excellent
Lowered suspension - no thanks
Rear spoiler - no thanks, something smaller than the spoiler shown is needed however

Come on @hyperion667 you know you want one of these shooting brakes. A set of golf clubs, a brown paper bag of apples from the local orchard, and a bottle of water in the back!
Except for the excessive rear spoiler and suspension that's too low, this car is genius!

Shooting brake. Where did the words come from?
A "break" (note the spelling) was a large wagon with an elevated flat surface above the wheels. It was used to break (train) horses to become draft horses. The flat surface made it easy for the driver to jump off in the event of trouble. But the heavy weight of the carriage usually kept it close to the ground.
Then some country gentlemen decided to put seats on it (to be drawn by fully broke horses) for his shooting parties.
Voila. The shooting break.
Somehow, over the years, "brake" came to be used because of its relationship to the most important part of the old cars -- the brakes.
But, really, it's a "shooting break" and I cringe every time I see it spelled the way it is now spelled. A piece of history has been lost.
Having said that, this example of a shooting break is hideous.
