It's pointless and stupid. The proportions are all wrong and it looks like someone has sat on it.

[problemchild1976]

reminds me a little of things like the hyundai veloster



and the honda crx

However it is not badly modified. It is obivously well done, you might not like it but it is to a high standard.

How can you compare anything favorably to a Veloster?
It's a car they didn't build right.

It's been well established over years that it's perfectly okay to post bad looking but well built cars to this thread. I'm sure that Mansory's cars are modified to the highest standards but you wouldn't deny this a place a thread would you?

I'd say the majority of cars posted here are modified to a high standard, but they look **** to varying degrees. I don't think the thread is about workmanship but appearance, at least that's how I've always perceived it.

TBH that bently was a monstrosity from the factory and is now just about bearable

isn't this more about barry boy style cars??



vs things that have been modified and we don't approve of??



^^^^^^ this being the same shooting break style as the C7 above

.....and whats wrong with the veloster?? what makes it an awful car??

nice design features, great little engine, sporty yet practical.... or is just not a bmw that looks like every other bmw?

JJ

[TheDrBrian]

Well it doesn't come with hotwheels decals, it is front wheel drive and it's got 2 doors on 1 side and a single door on the other.

It's design by committee except the split wasn't inside/outside or looks/dynamics it was left/right.

Also are you the bloke from the fast show with the crazy tie?

[problemchild1976]

haha - nothing wrong with FWD at all

its a good little design - at least the split 2 doors are on the curb side for us uk peeps unlike on the mini clubman where they open into the road

seems like brand snobbery to me
