Dudley at Talon Sportscars is a mate of mine, and I got to drive his VVC caged and Quaife LsD'd demo car around brands hatch. What a tool. I was doing high 57s and not 100% on it as it was not my car .

Also had a go in his granny-spec looking road demo car, light metallic blue and grey cloth. Total stealth. Tweaked suspension and brakes. I promise you it would destroy my Clio 172 and you would not look twice at it!

Always wanted a VVC metro

How hard would it be to make the front look like an MG metro?

I looked into this, to try and make a visual replica of my red MK1 MG metro turbo with a 200 bhp Rover 100 under the skin. I found a lot of info on a metro website, but I THINK the tailgate swaps over, front wings need a little artistic licence to fit and the front inner wings will need fabricating. Doors are a straight swap. The fuel tank is in a different place as original MK1s used to spill fuel directly onto the rear wheels under hard cornering.
That was off the top of my head so a few details could be wrong but it is doable if you can find the parts
