I wouldn't choose it myself but it's ok.
The exhaust looks wonky though.

That looks really good. 
My next door neighbour's got a 207 S16 with the graphics on it. Shame they didn't put the turbo'd engine in that too so it has the power to go with the 'racey' look.

gave it a good blast last night
goes well power delivery is very smooth and hardly any turbo lag. read up and its because of this
Pop the bonnet and you’ll see the THP 175 engine cradled in ample surroundings. It’s the same unit you’ll find in the Mini Cooper S, and it’s a bit of a corker. The THP stands for Turbo High Pressure, and the KKK turbocharger is a twin-scroll item. This apparently means that the exhaust gases from cylinders 1 and 4, and 2 and 3 are paired and then passed through scrolls to control the flow to the turbine. The result is that it starts generating boost from just 1000rpm, which in turn helps response. As on the Mini, there’s also an overboost facility that delays the opening of the wastegate, allowing pressure to swell from 0.8bar to 1bar and increasing torque by an extra 15lb ft as a result. All in all, a very clever piece of kit.
