Well....after suppressing an involuntary gag reflex (didn't want to have to clean up the keyboard afterwards...)  S'pose its horses for courses...

The original sprint bodyshape is just so pure and clean and...neat.

These mods are all very Fast and Furious. Wonder if it has Nos and cameras up its... and time distorts when it maxes out in fourth...and floor panels unbolt with the pure wickedosity of the driiiiiiiive?

Seem the kinda thing  (early) teenage wet dreams are made of...

(my 14 year old actually did ralph when he saw the pic!... Well, no. Not really. What he asked is: "What is that car?" and  "Is there a picture of the front". There you go. The Teenager Has Spoken.)

Not really my cup of tea eather
just wondered what people thought, with the amount of bodywork added it would need a bit done to the engine to keep up with a standard sprint.
I prefer the original line as well, especially the older models, although the plastic bumpered models have a real cool 80s look. Mine is a 1987

I wonder if Giugiaro has seen it? hopefully not, i have seen worse, a few years ago at the Canberra Italian car show there was a "fully sick" 90 with a chopped lowered roof, p.s. i hope my spelling of Giugiaro is correct, my Italian Alfa mate up the road cringes every time i attempt to pronouce it, Colin.

Ahhh, the ricer effect! Not too bad. I'd like to try the rear diffuser on the race car. Overall great work. I'd like to see more.

Is it a photoshop?  Doesn't look quite right around the rear wheel.

If not, he obviously does a lot of track work, since he needs all that cooling to the rear brakes.

The important thing is what does the real authority on Sprints think about this one, no-no, not Frank, we wait  for the opinion of Miss Alfa Sprint, Colin.

That is by far the worst thing i have ever seen!!  >:( How can you take a beautifully designed car and destroy it to the point it's not even recognisable for what it is anymore??? They have taken the Alfa Romeo out of that Alfa Romeo Sprint and riced the s*** out of it
