Unfortunately I'm going to have to say it....I'm not one to lurk in the shadows whispering, but....
I don't like the styling....it ain't MB styling....needs some curves ipod stylist panache...
there you go...I said it....I - personally, think its ugly.
Maybe NW's can flash it up or dumb it down and give you a royalty. ATM it looks like a bolt on farm piece.
Sorry - but my 2c.
But - it would work under my OEM MB Engine cover to possibly protect it.
Beautiful engine all the same, and love all your work.
Stuart, Stuart, Stuart,
To characterize your unsolicited, near-pointless, unnecessary, mean-spirited fashion criticism as thoughtless would overlook the obvious .... you put some thought into it ...
Your inflammatory, rude, "ugly" comments are just that .... inflammatory, rude and ugly
Over the years, we have exchanged more than a few emails and PMs (dare I say, many) that were ALL positive and I had come to think of you as a friend . You have just proven that this is clearly not the case. My understanding of friendship (and apparently, my opinion of "MB-grade styling" vs "ugly farm-grade equipment") clearly differs from yours to the point of being unreconcilable ....
Do us both a favor and let us please leave it at ... Being that our perspectives on "form following function" (and what acceptable form is for that matter) are so diametrically opposed, I would respectfully request that you understand that I have NO future interest in your commentary.
good day
