Default Another hot custom C7 from Europe



Like 'em or not, you certainly have to give those European aftermarket companies credit. They are pulling off some pretty hot upgrades on the C7.

After finally getting their hands on the Corvette, Abbes, a small company based in Luxembourg, has rolled out its spin on the popular American car, which includes a new front bumper, unique side skirts, aggressive rear diffuser and a small rear spoiler.

Read the rest on the Corvette Forum homepage. >>

The body lines don't seem to line up around the door.

Needs to be lowered and some refinement for the lines to flow better.

The side pieces look "tacked on" (and tacky):




The spoiler looks kinda cool:

The groove needs to run past the door front and back. But that would mean modifying the front and rear fenders. Why does the front splitter bow up in the middle? Spoiler, ehh. Does it improve aerodynamics?

The Spoiler seems to be the best part of it for sure

I usually like European tuners, but that looks barfy. Reminds me of a toned down version of Mansory upgrades, not that it's saying much.

The rear spoiler is not bad, the rest of the car was better looking prior to the changes.

The lines do not seem to flow very smoothly in my eyes.

Rear spoiler... ehh, has too much of a arch, (reminds me of the mid 90s Eclipse days).

Wheels, need some improvement. If their going for a tuner look, the offsets should be much more aggressive and tucked in a smidge. For whatever reason the 20's in the rear don't look like they're 20s.

I can see potential with the side skirts, but the lines seem to be a little off.
