That's a chavved up Golf. Go and look at the pics of the Ferrari Daytona, then come back to this. If that hasn't drummed some sense into you, you're a lost cause.


There's no way a chav could afford anything this good. It reportedly cost Hans Dahlback £500k to build this Golf. The Daytona's nice, but I'd rather have the adrenalin of driving a car that can do 0-60 in 2.5secs and be able to do 220mph.


£500K or not, the arse-end is Sh*t.



yes That is resolutely not a good looking rear end. I don't care if it's fast and expensive, it's still a Golf (and one that appears to have caught fire) and Golfs do not have nice looking rear ends. As CommanderJameson said, it's about looks, not performance. That sir, is a chavved up Golf and as such deserves no such place in this thread. I'm sure it's clean up at the Tuner GP but it still looks like a dog's dinner.

Pull up in a Daytona and you'd look great, pull up in that, spitting flames and you'd look like an attention seeking chav.


Ok, paperbag I can assure you I'm no chav but I do love the Dahlback Golf as it would be an absolute bloody hoot at a track day.
I hope this other pic can redeem myself a bit.

SO nicely done.

I hate that TVR never used to make bespoke light units for their cars and you could always look at the rear of one and see the rear of the car the lights were intended for but not the Chim and Cerb. A great effort from TVR

I think the fact that they make their own is great, but I really don't like the way they look on the Chim -I think the four little circles are too fussy, and don't suite the more gentle curves everywhere else on the car.

I also think the rear of the Zonda is too fussy - I'd have one in a heartbeat if I had the money, but I don't think the rear is it's best view.

Couldn't go and be all decisive, so here goes;



What the hell is that? It looks like an industrial washing machine on wheels.

And as for the Chav Golf. £500k and its set fire to itself he wants to get that looked at.

Back to the thread for what its worth I think the are some classic designs here and personally I think the older the better a Classic Lambo, Ferrari, Porsche can't beat them in my book.

nono
you are thinking about the griffith, the griffith had upside down vauxhall cavalier rear lights, the chim and the cerb had fiesta light's fitted as normal.
on the later cerb's IE the lightweight's, and the red rose versions had the four dotted rear lights as standard, but on the lightweight the light conversion was just black.

Same lights, different car.

I am pretty sure that this was the day that Dad bought his Tuscan V6.....



He obviously liked the colour.....
