I don't actually think it looks too bad, in fact I quite like it.

If you like it then that's all that matters.

I hate the Rover 45, this however, I like!

For full irony, wear a flat cap or a pork pie hat, drive evrywhere at 25mph and put a packet of Werther's Originals on the front seat...

I like it a lot actually, injects a little bit of life into it!

Are those WeatherTech side window deflectors? If so how do you rate them?
They're Team Heko, top notch stuff from Poland!

I didn't take any pictures of the suspension fork as I fixed that in the car park at the scrap yard, but heres the rippled turrets I took just after the pothole

Nothing wrong with a bit of individualism.

I like it a lot.

You've been beaten to it I'm afraid by the old boy I saw driving his Metro with collapsed hydro spheres last week.

I really like that. What steel wheels are on it? They look quite wide for standard steel wheels. Is the car running spacers?

It feels a little odd looking at that as we share the same chassis and a whole bucket load of parts!

Looks good, I'm with everyone else regarding the chrome.

The numberplate reads like a Craigslist casual sex ad biggrin

I like the chrome. Can you get chrome side strips?
