Default to gambella or not gambella?
Since i have to paint my car due to bad paint lifting Ive had the fortune to come across, what ive been told is an original gambella wide body kit from the 80's for 350 euro's, one side was painted for a demo and i stuck it on with tape to get an idea of what it looks like!

I have my concerns about the testerossa door panels but im not too sure,
I would appreciate your opinions on weather to do it or not,
I have an 85 euro

I think ultimately it will hurt the value of the car, but if you like the look, go for it.

I think some bodykits look good. I don't like this one. Sorry.
