I spotted the beast in Eastbourne yesterday! Hopefully you can make out all the Ferrari badges and number plate.

I never knew that Overfinch did a Freelander :/

Car had a stupidly loud Quad Exhaust, Tinted Rear Lights, Two Tone Black and White Wheels and really bad Aftermarket Badges stuck all over it!

Wish I had a dash cam at times, came across a seriously slammed A5 yesterday on the way in to work (albeit not for sale, though I'm not entirely certain who'd buy it), to the point he'd probably have to plan his routes to avoid pot holes never mind speed bumps.

That however wasn't the worst of it, the rear wheels had quite a bit of negative camber on them (probably in order to stop them from rubbing on the arches), the fronts had been given a touch of positive camber and looked to have been regressed into the arch by quite a few inches to once again prevent rubbing on the arches. The drivers side alloys had been given a lick of orange paint while the passenger side looked like stock silver and to top it off had twin chrome exhausts poking out of the bumper by quite a few inches.

You could even see out the rear window as well! Luckily we've moved on and cars are too safe to need such minor things these days.

PT Cruisers are crimes against the automotive world in standard form. Why their owners feel the need to stick chrome all over them etc I'll never know.

I saw the Metro above this week.

It's all a bit "drove through Halfords store in the 80s"

This IS the badly modified thread after all.

Same one another PHer and I have both spotted about Coventry.
Fairly certain it's a one of a kind, thankfully.
Looking at the general fit and finish (and the fact the front number plate sits on the dash) it's probably not a real OF, not that they're much better.

eta: that "mustang" link needs a warning, I'd just had my lunch.

Not exactly modified, but an unusual tow bar fitment!

Is it legal?
