I hope we are n”badge snubbers”. Who are badge snubbers? Well they are the kind who criticise a car for it’s company badge. Simply put it, if let’s say there’s a Perodua-badged Punto, there will be those who think it’s unpleasant and looks like a pig. As a Fiat (or Italian), people love it for being a mini-Maserati.

Hey, first time seeing you bashing at those who are “biased”, a very good move! This same applies to the Proton bashers as well!

And then there are the “reference chop”, where the chopped car resembles to original/donor car. This approach works best for facelift-impressions. Like my GT-i versions of Saga and Gen2.

A lot of times there are details so small, that though takes ages to prepare, they eventually not noticed, but they are crucial in achieving a balance design. And these details can be shadows, panel gaps, back ground, interior colour (though mostly not visible, still have to be chopped)…

And then there are chops that look extremely wild and exciting, like 3D renderings of sketches, that couldn’t be logically production-feasible. Like, who doesn’t like 20″ wheels on the Waja?

Above are personal opinions.

I like the Savvy the way it is. It does look nothing else on the road. It’s not pretty, but definitely not ugly. I hate the word ugly, especially in reference to design. All design has its reason and value.

What is ugly? Like the Sylphy, why so many people says it’s ugly? Ugly meh?? And yet the Corolla, which looks worse than Sylphy, is simply “boring”? And then there was the VW Polo Cross, which IS plain looking, is not criticised at all.

Well, I do admire your chopping skills. There are some of the examples that are totally flawless, especially the ones from Tata Nano and the Neo GTI.

Just remember, a building can collapse if you don’t build it properly, same goes to your chopping work!

Here’s the front ( http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/501/newwajafront26ur.jpg chop and original ) and rear ( http://img180.imageshack.us/img180/7962/newwajarear4bn.jpg ). I didn’t chop as much as Kevin Lee.

Well, like Kevin, I didnt wanna reshape the Waja too. So my chop introduces only:
push forward front wheels,
change degree of front side corners (so the headlights are more wrapped-around) reshaped grille,
reshaped roof and pillars,
reshaped head lights,
reshaped bumpers,
reshaped rear number plate area,
reshaped rear boot,
reshaped rear rear lights,

What else…
bigger wheels arches,
bigger wheels.

Like what Kevin Lee commented in other post (GT-R sedan chop based MOSTLY on artist impression seen in http://www.auto-motor-und-sport.de/news/auto_-_produkte/hxcms_article_510833_13987.hbs ), my chops are rush jobs, and it would be more better if I took some time to make better chops rather than pushing out rush jobs overfilled with flaws.

How true.

And like Myvikiller suggest, I can retire.
