would love to see the interior because the exterior looks crud!

[MatsHolden]

Should've pointed out it was a 'bumble bee' version to coincide with the launch of the movie.

[poita]

From the Irmscher press release.

"The new Irmscher Cruze is a “homage” to the Bumblebee design."



I'm keen to see if they do a 'normal' mildly modified Cruze. I think it would look pretty good. No bright colours.

[poita]

yer its defin out of irmchers' comfort zone

way to bright

[BEK-46P]

Wow, I just dry-reached!

epic fail...

[ChrisMaz]

I think they could have hired someone to take a dump on it and it would have looked better.

[DirtyHarry]

that truely is terrible.
its starting to look like what kids a driving around in bankstown

[Wraith]

So are the Irmy bits the parts in orange or what :confused:

Other than that, anyone could fit a set of alternate wheels/springs...what else is there ??

Except for the lowering and neat zorst tip, I prefer the looks of a stock standard CDX...

[DirtyHarry]

red coloured cars go faster anyway :-)

[Nurb608]

Well on the plus side, it is the chev version of the car and I think they have stayed true to that brand with this.

[btm]

looks horrible!

[boorny88]

They get a gold star for coloring between the lines so well.

[Hackstra]

[btm]

Should have been a stealth look all black say with dark grey wheels. the orange is a bit too much 'LOOK AT ME'!!!

[sooty]

As opposed to say...

Irmscher doesn't do subtle when showing off their tuning parts lol

[[OPCSRi]]

See they don't look bad^^^^^. The stipes over the whole car in the very first pic of this post look crap.

[poita]

lol, as soon as i posted it i actually thought of yours, pretty similar yeah?

[poita]

well i havent even seen mine in the flesh yet lol

but from the pics similar, more like tais (mr cali) charade

[Wraith]

Hey Pete, out of curiosity what colour exactly is that on your Cali ??? :)

Is it the same as the orange used on the XR5T Focus ???

I've seen orange Calis before, they look ok in that colour :)

[poita]

its a custom mix Ange
kinda like the focus colour, but not like the focus colour.

there is one in town, so once i get it back i will be stalking it to take a side by side photo
just to show the difference

Sounds nice...:)

Can tell from your avatar pic it looks a little brighter than the orange on the Ford Focus...

I look forward to seeing it when complete :)

Looks like a baby Camaro...which it isn't :rollyeys1:

Don't know about you guys, but I wouldn't be comfortable driving around in car with that kind of livery...I'm not one for this whole stripes thing though, even like you have now on cars like the XR5 and XR4 looks 'chav' to me...

Imagine if the original pic was of an Astra instead of the Cruze - the amount of frothing that would be going on in this thread would be phenomenal :rolleyes: ;)

mmm to a certain extent,
i still dont think many ppl would be a fan of the bright orange wheels, or orange fog light surrounds. same as ppl (on here) dont froth over a astra (or any car really) with chrome wheels.

i got no problem with the stripes...

if it was a calibra i would be looking for the nearest box of matches!!

[ROCCO]

actually my brother in law just bought a cruze...like its so new it has 6 ks on the clock...to me on closer inspection it looks like a new Suby Liberty....I really like the build quality....I had a look under the hood and the car instelf....it has opel running gear...the car is just assembled in asia...although from what I hear it will soon be an all aussie job...very nice car though...the auto is gutless but thats too be expected but the manual is very shmick
