apart from the bonnet raise and the banded steels, I think that is excellent.

The modifications (if done properly - looks to be the case) improve the car's function.

Its a yes from me.
not a fan of shopping cars - but this seems well done with the caveats mentioned above

Bonnet clips and wheels are a bit much but i can see the appeal of this one.

Looks well done at the very least.
Not really a horror

I actually saw one of these today,
Drove passed me on a country lane near Warminster, as it approaches it does actually look like an old jag but then you realise it's actually closer than you thought, then you just see the hideousness!

"£501 - Reserve not met". roflrofl

And "repainted it in my business colours for advertising purposes". Isn't advertising supposed to attract business smile

The back of that model Focus always looked bland - that "show car" makes it look even worse.

not my cuppa tbh - but in the interests of fairness I'd not call it a horror either (though the goodride tyres are a no-no!)

There's something fishy about that advert.

It's supposedly posted by a user called "BOBI" and if you click "See other ads from BOBI" there is one other expired advert which links to a Honda Accord which featured in another thread recently, and the advert is actually written in proper English.

It's also in a completely different location.

Odd.

ETA: Honda featured in this thread - see post half way down from "DervVW" - who linked to it on the Retrorides site. Has to be the same car (Honda, not Passat!).
