I see he has removed the terrible sticker off the front bumper.

Comparing his car to Ian Watkins cock was never a good idea.

She has, her car, unless the male owner is 6-months pregnant.

I'm not sure whats worst:
The idea that someone would build a kit car of an Audi TT rather than just buying a cheap one?
The fit and finish of the project?
The description they've given to the ad?

When that kit was originally produced the TT was a reasonably new and quite desirable car. The problem is that being a VAG product it so sold in the millions so has depreciated like a normal car. That makes the kit pointless when as you say you can buy the real thing for peanuts.

Must of been sold on since I saw it at Big Bang at Santa Pod, but thank you.

Richards car looks ace IMO and certainly doesn't belong in here

Which part of it is badly modified?

The headlight tints looks stupid on a monochrome car, same as the solid black bonnet with a disruptive pattern in grey/black - it should have been continued on the bonnet. The wing is a tad large to be considered tasteful, but that doesn't bother me too much.

And those stickers and anodised bits of different colours looks uncoordinated - they make it look like very little thought was put in and parts were just thrown at the car; they ruin any semblance of cohesion.

I think the headlights look great against the monochrome car, really pops and adds a splash of colour, I think the pattern over the bonnet would have been too much, agree on the wing I duno why BGW's are all the rage all of a sudden

There's nothing wrong with a splash of colour on a monochrome car, but in this instance it just looks inconsistent. If, say everything followed a pink theme, or a turquoise theme, then it would fit. As it is, no. It looks like the local chav motor factors was raided for stick-on anodised bits and stickers and he just bought whatever was in stock.

I like that MX-5. It seems to pull the big wing look off much better than the Purple on in Reader's Cars, which sadly just looks a bit odd with it.
Drift y0 windscreen stickers look st and always have, though.

Is everyone saying that the MX5 isn't that bad simply because it belongs to a ph'er? Would this thread even exist if all the cars featured were owned by members on here?

I didn't know the guy who owned this was on PH

I think the stickers on the windscreen that match the headlights ties it all in quite nicely

Wouldn't give a st if it was David Coverdale's car. Looks terrible, maybe not "badly modified" but in poor taste for sure. Too many dreadful additions to list, so i'll just point out the good bits:
The wheels are nice.

But then it's got a red anodised intake, a pink anodised tow ring and a couple of pink anodised bobbins on the wing and bumper (which look like they're supposed to be a bonnet latch, but unless some major work has been done to actually make a front clamshell while still retaining the look/shutlines of a bonnet and wings, do absolutely fk all, adding to the air of "crashed through the chav aisle of Halfords").

Looking at the picture again, the fact that the main body is matt (a wrap, I assume) yet the bonnet is gloss, and then the hardtop is solid black but also matt instead of gloss, it's just AAAAARRGH! Put some fking thought in. If either the bonnet was matt black to match the roof, or the roof was gloss black to match the bonnet, then again it would tie some of the elements together. At the moment it's all over the place.

That MX5 definitely belongs in this thread

Have you seen the dealer's PH stock list?...Very strange...some great cars but some real howlers. How anyone dealer who knows their cars can think that NSX will sell in that state must be mental. He must have bought it VERY cheap.

unless RAM-Air is a brand of intake system, then the advert for the M5 is misleading as you can clearly see the air-filters are open to ambient pressure in the engine bay

The power claims on that E60 M5 are hilarious, and the list of modifications reads like it's been written by a child. Utterly baffling.
