Oh my fu@king god. What kind of drugs are some people on? Receipts for £12000, cat d. Just imagine how much of a knob you would look driving around in that. Why are people so desperate to have an Audi? I'm sure even when this was built you could have picked up an A5 for £12000, maybe a leggy slightly careworn one but even that would be preferable to this abomination.
The bonnet doesn't even line up with the front bumper / light unit...

The good drugs clearly aren't as widely available as he hoped, top bid was £560

Letting a child use a machine polisher is how you get such a fantastic finish like on that car!

Wow! that's incredible. Can't believe that someone has done that and thinks it's a good look.

Agreed. I've lost count of the number of times I've looked at similar "creations" and wondered at what point they stood back and went "fk yeah! That's awesome!"

But the ad says "spent ££ on modifications"

I assume that this means they spent two pounds on the modifications...

Also, are those machine screws through the airbag cover?

That's actually a quite astonishing waste of effort, just to ape a fairly mundane car.

Reminds me in a way of those people who build incredible sand sculptures on the beach just to see them get washed away after a few hours.

The only bit I like of the whole car are the rear seats...which don't look terrible and at least match the outside colour to brighten up the back...unlike the dayglo dashboard! Horrible!

...and at what point did they go "it needs another couple of lights and two more turbo badges......no, hang on, that'd be too much"
