I bet if you zoomed in on a gerbils penis with wide angle lensing it would look big too.

Lol… except this gap looks huge in comparison to the tire profile right next to it while the gerbil would still look small if you put another penis next to it

That's the wide angle .5x man. It's distorting space to make things look bigger. Go to a real estate website and see what I mean

Also I just noticed the wheels is slightly turned outward. The angle of the wheel face doesn't match the body.

Yes you are correct, shot with a slightly wide angle lens (.6) so the horizontal gaps are slightly exaggerated, the vertical gaps however, top of the tyre to the bottom of the fender, is accurately represented.

An incidental point - it looks like the strange vent in the headlight unit is so that the standard G42 headlight can be used, just under a different front glass/plastic/whatever panel.

Yes it's definitely the same G42 headlight unit with this vent looking piece tacked on.

Can anyone throw together a quick photoshop of how the M2 would look dropped and spaced out?

If you stare at that pic long enough, you can hear 1000 watt boosted subwoofers, like when you put a seashell to your ear and hear the ocean.

I think you’re highly optimistic

That gap is humongous

It needs a drop !!

Like I said, my M4 comp had a similar gap upon arrival from the factory, it dropped significantly after 3 weeks of driving. Given that the 2 shares suspension components with the 4, Id expect a similar drop on the 2. Also, we can’t discount the possibility that the photos aggravate the significance of the car appearing jacked up.

Joes test car looks to be sitting pretty darn high to me particularly in the first photo / side profile.

The car is sitting at an incline half off the road?

Yep I saw that on the way home today - crazy! It looks fine to me though from side view when the car is just sitting. I can barely believe it - cash grab for MP HAS.

In person it's very apparent the back and front end need a drop. Perhaps even more so then the front end of the G80. I'm sure they will sell MP HAS like hot cakes
