Absolutely no idea what that was or now is!

That makes two of us!

I'm going to punt at comparing the A Pillars to the car next to it it is/was an MGF/TF?

Yes, windscreen and dashboard looks like MG to me.

Really hoping this is someone who is desperate for the M car look on his/her 435d and that this isn't something available from the factory.

Probably a 420d...

Yes it was an MGF. The chap who "designed" it is on the MGF Register Facebook page. He says he was once an Austin Rover apprentice. Make of that what you want.

Here's a front view.

That's what I thought, but it's definitely a 435d. Either way, it looks tacky and the front has a quite distasteful front bumper

As someone else has pointed out, the wheels look like Ford one's and the front grille just keeps the theme going. Early reveal of the new Focus CC anyone?

to be fair for a 'home build' it's not as bad as some I've seen - just the design itself seems somewhat.... errrm 'lacking'

"STUNNING ROLLS ROYCE REPLICA 2008 CHRYSLER 300C CRD AUTO BLUE"

I thought I saw a Rolls Royce Chrysler 300 in South Wales one evening and then decided I must have been hallucinating. It would appear not.

WTF???????????????? I actually like 300C's - but this has me wanting to pluck my eyeballs out

That Chrysler ad keeps on giving.

At first I thought, 'well, apart from the badges it isn't too bad'.

Then I saw the rims.

Followed by the neon in the arches.

Then the headlights.

Oh, and the neon below the grille.

And the 'Bentley' embroider PVC cushions.

I'm so glad that the ad isn't appearing on my machine right now (thanks go out to NoScript for that one).

Again it's one of those "well executed, but possibly dubious taste" jobs - does that mean it's "badly" modified?

When four exhausts aren't enough.

fking casual.

There's room for at least three more pipes in the middle.

saw that on AT for 12k when I was shopping around for my SLK55. It has suicide doors too.. horrendous taste

Suicide or scissor doors?

Is it actually a spoiler or some random packaging material?

Can't think why...
