Poor thing looks like it's had a stroke.
Never mind that, it looks like they've installed a VCR player and a sink in the back!

MC Rallying illusion kit. Don't see many these days. Retrochav Magazine hasn't really taken off yet.
The colour scheme lets it down but the concept is fine with me! Do like some box section cosworth arches as they do toughen up the car whilst working well with the existing lines.

I have to disagree here, in any colour it is trying to be something that it isn't...and looks awful IMHO!

Would look quite good (to me, a ford fan and a chav) without the twin headlights and if it were painted a different colour, and without the contract black bits.

Worst feature for me is the wheels, nut sure if its the offset or just the design but they look wrong. Some nice deep dish minilite or revolution type rims as per the Gartrac cars in 15 or 16" might help.

Exactly, a set of Escort Cosworth alloys will fit the car perfectly.

If you look at the mk4 escort with the illusion (cosworth inspired) bodykit in the context of the mid 90s when mk5 escort Rs Coswoths were new & extremely desirable the mk4 looks pretty dam good!

Can somebody please explain why this is done. I literally cant see why? to anybody sane it just looks like a collapsed wheel bearing? Surely they must go through tyres on a monthly basis

It's awful, but what really, really offends me, is the number plate.....
WTF? some 1990 registration, with a silly font and randomly placed digits??

Does he want me to 'hate him and his friend/girlfriend 10 times'?

Registration does show the colour to be listed as 'Pink' too.
I thought he hated America....
