Simpson Design Italia 2

Designer Jim Simpson has created a new version of his Italia body conversion specifically for the NB Roadster. This new Italia2 kit is similar to the original Italia for the NA Roadster but there have been many detail changes. While I appreciate the craftsmanship, I do not agree with the aesthetic as the proportions are off and the overall look is incongruous. I like the rear treatment and the covered headlamps are classic. But the wheels, the ride height, the canards, the front fender vents and the front radiator grill opening look wrong in my opinion. Personally, I much prefer the monoCRAFT mm1, a design which displays more balanced harmony.
