£3k for that It's not even a decent RST replica due to the way the rear doors have been welded (fillered) up FFS

Modified cars are such a personal thing, but this, erm.

I didn't like it, even my Mrs said 'wtf is that', but then a middle aged bloke and his son walked past and loved it. Weird old world!

Especially 'badly modified' because they've cut the monocoque, effectively deregistering the vehicle which now requires an IVA to be approved and re-registered again for road use.

Wow, I just checked and you're right, it's actually a 3 door coupe

I thought it was a caddy pickup or similar. That's some superb 'modifying' right there.

WTAF... that's a new one on me. Welding the rear doors shut and pretending it is a 3 door is just a bit special

I thought that he had put a grill in his rear bumper at first.

ARGH NO!!!

As a C6 owner this is heresy! Blasphemy!

I think someone is lamenting the passing of their 1980's black and red Argos furniture

It took a while before my brain was willing to register that there was a stylish french limo sitting on those eyesores... what a shame.

I imagine that's what they had in mind when someone coined the phrase - Trying to polish a turd.

Lets face it the car is not a looker, this makes it more so... so...
