Any one remember those lopsided bodykits that were around in the early '00's?

Were they called delta kits or something?.. always used to see them on sierra's etc

Yep, made by carlton automotive in barnsley, explains it all really!

I know all about the bodykits that make the MR2 look like a Ferrari (well sort of) but does anyone remember or have a picture of the terrible one in the eighties that attempted to make the humble Ford Capri look like an F40 ? Feel free to add any other cars kitted out on this thread

I did find this whilst searching for a picture

No it was an F40 based on a TR7, nicknamed the TR40
Look you cant even tell the difference

TR40


Ferrari F40




I do hope I havnt got the pics around the wrong way, as they are far to similar and easily confused

Its a TR40!!!!!! The horrible F40 kits were based on the Triumph TR7!

I definitely remember seeing a Capri based F40 , possibly a one off as no-one else seems to recall it , in any case this thread has been worthy of more than one belly laugh !

SO you want to make a replica of a Mustang? Fair enough why not start with a Capri? No?

You want to use a... WHAT?




FFS.

You'd want to use the obvious choice of car for such a conversion - a mk2 mr2

It looks angry.

Not as angry as the owner will be when he realises what a cock he looks.

Seriously, how can anyone think that looks decent in anyway?

If some of the flares and curves/bulges were removed that look/design does have some appeal to it though

So if it looked like a Mustang then?

Wouldn't like to get hit by that McMerc, or that 'Mustang'.

Look at these fools trying to make an IQ look like an Aston Martin

Looks like it has the Parthenon welded to the front of it. V. vulgar.

No thread about bad bodykits would be complete without a custom Hiace van

Referred to, I believe, as the "miniskirt accidentally tucked in knickers" rear bumper.

Although possibly not by the people who actually fit them.
