Badly modified cars thread Mk2

[smithyithy]

I wouldn't think so, especially as it has necessitated removing the pate and sticking it behind the window. Add to this the massive dent in the tailgate and broken tail light, I don't think the owner is the most careful driver

Not exactly modified, but an unusual tow bar fitment!

Is it legal?

Hook up trailer....rip bumper clean off.

Yep, iirc these items would cost you £2k imported (at least) then all you have to do is find a GT500 compatible bonnet and you are away. Assuming the modifications to mount it have been made on the car rather than cutting the GT500 bumper of course (same with the lights).

There is something not quite right about this 'Shelby Mustang' not quite sure what it is though:

I'm sure that this may come as a surprise to some of you (if you even remember). But, remember years ago the 'Myhneer Volvo' which was doing the rounds online? Well, this is that car.

Its bad, but its not the worst. At least it got the correct number of doors.

No.3 is I believe a *real* DP Motorsport 935, so actually is a real thing rather than a bad replica.
Although certainly the looks could be called controversial.

The urge to jump in the back and kick the rear doors open is strong with this one

yep, fairly certain the Zimmerman slant noses are a bit like the Gemballa & RWB cars these days.

Looks like the doors can still open which is even worse!

I hate to admit I had a rover 100 the same as the car under that st. I was a driving instructor at the time so can be excused

Did you mean it's NOT a MK1 Metro?

It's a Rover 100.
