I bet that was advertised in bridal magazines as a Rolls Royce, just like the Chrysler 300C is named as a Bentley. It's misrepresentation. Fraud by any other name. What was wrong with the car as it was, a Turbo R? It's GRP. I hope someone sets fire to it.

Yesss! I've been waiting for someone to post this page 3 stunner.
Who the hell is bidding £25,000 for that thing?
Is it really fooling anyone?
Surely no door handles is an MOT failure?

This?



Given a fair chunk of the other cars on this thread, I wouldn't class that as badly modified tbh, maybe just not to everybody's taste.

At least that exhaust looks relatively normal. It would have been worse if they'd put 2 massive 5" Mk2 Focus RS exhaust tips on or something like that.

Agreed, its not my taste (a bit too jobbo spec for a volvo imho), but its well done, and just a set of rims and OEM tail-lights away from looking dentist ready again. And at least its a proper fast volvo, not some D2 drudger tarted up to look more then it is.

They are AC Schnitzer diamond cut - my old E39 had them when I bought it. Factory fitted. They suited it though. They look out of place on the Volvo.

Well that's certainly, erm, different.

Seeing as it's LHD, based on the pic, I'm assuming that's a creation from either Belgium or France, given how much they like that sort of modification scene over there?

I think that looks rather nice, in a "im not taking myself to seriously" kind of way..

Wouldnt do it to my own car in a milion years though, but i dont think that is badly modified, more of a taste thing

They obviously spent thousands of hours in a wind tunnel to get the shape of the spoiler wing thing perfect....... cool



Paint job was obviously done by throwing a litre of acrylic into the fan of said wind tunnel. yes

Quite. A bit Halfords, but within the bounds of reason. Certainly nothing compared to the horror of that Lotus Elise for example!
