That's nice!

Although does it count as modified?

I thought it was modified but think it's actually a Chevrolet built racing version of the SS, my bad. But still looks so nice with the front splitter and the rear wing, would be incredible in black.

It's modified, but by the company themselves AFAIK. That's the only reason i asked. Looks stunning though.

This place is getting stupid. Everyone slagging off a car that's maybe not to everyones taste, but certainly not hideous and is unique enough. Those mods on a DB9 or even a Mk1 Golf would look crap. But they "work" for Jap performance cars as that's the trend. But all you get on here is the oh-so-humourous "look! he crashed into Halfords" line

Thanks, I thought it was a good line too. Seriously though, some Jap mod cars look very very good. Sticking bits of plastic to every existing panel does not.

From what I can find they are MGB GTs with RV8 panels, Wheels, Axles, Cross members, Engines, Interiors etc etc

Basically an RV8 bolted around a GT body

I've always loved the RV8s - those are something else (in a good way).

Given you have a 1.9TDi A4 and worry about MPG

I'm going to assume the owner of this Evo is more "PistonHeads" than you!

Oh is that how its quantified. The more crap from halfords you stick on a car the more PH you are... buggrit.

Nevermind i will pop down to "alfords" in the morning and buy every little bit of tat i can find and stick it all over my stty little a4 as i refuse to be outdone by this whippersnapper.

May even buy a winged horse for the bonnet to complete the PH look.

Whats your point? other than a different set of wheels the car looks factory?

Exactly. That has been modded but has been done tastefully.In fact both look ace and thats from someone who doesnt like evos or scoobies partly due to their looks.

Lets see aside from a different set of wheels its standard spec???? The point is he has modded it tastefully not crashed it into halfords.

Thanks I was gonna say.... I understand they aint everyones cuppa however its a performance car capable of silly performance with only a small amount of money spent in comparison to some. And that was my point of sharing it

Colour and vents on the first one look a bit ste, the second one is very nice though.

I agree but I could only find a few pics, If I'm honest I'm not a fan of the lights on the blue one either

Love it, but not all too sure whether I like the mirrors done in Orange...

That is awesome IMO, but minus the orange please...

Except for the orange detailing, I can't see why it isn't decently modified?

[stephen300o]

looks good to me, and the orange accents are great too.

Why not? Personally the mirrors need removing, but apart from that, it looks spot on. Shame about the advert though.
