^^^That's off the scale!

With the added benefit that every year it sheds the wrap and there's another one underneath

[Lefty]

At least it's original. And removable!

[idiotgap]

Moped in the square mile, inexplicably, rubbishy, encrusted with stuff.

A GT40! My favourite car! For just £7450! Oh... er... no it's not. Almost had me fooled there for a minute...

Not a GT 40 Replica or Recreation but a 1969 Ford GT 40 according to the ad.
If you look carefully you'll see that the fuel filler is wrong. Apart from that, even Ronnie Spain would have been fooled by its accuracy! I can honestly say I have never seen anything like it.

Well of course it is; didn't they all have Alfa-Romeo engines and triangular rear wheel-arches ?

Nasty BMW with Lambo doors

What's so wrong with that? I actually like that as I wouldn't say it was "badly modified"

This looks good?? Lambo doors, horrible spoiler and tinted lights. nope.. Personally, i'd feel embarrassed getting out of it. The "murdered out" look is way out of date as well.



Also, nothing wrong with quad exhausts but they stand out too much here (as well as physically sticking out too much).

Awful wrap.
Awful black window tints.
Awful spoiler.
Awful chav black wheels.
fking retarded doors.

from the photos, this car is adding considerable council to an already counciled vicinity.

Apart from the matt finish I think that's actually more subtly done that BMW's own efforts recently and its not all show and no go.

The wrap is awful, the doors look terrible, that rear spoiler is properly silly. The body kit is one I've seen on a few cars, I don't know if it was a dealer option or something. Not sure whether I like it but I don't hate it.

Not sure whether the "Genuine CSL" wheels are genuine, they're certainly not a proper staggered set which would look like this:



To my eye the spoke shape looks all kinds of wrong on the matte black one.

Also, it's pretending to be an M3.



(Incidentally, I think proper staggered CSL BBS wheels look great on the non-M E92 like that one above)

When Gump siezes power, that will be an offence punished by public flogging.

For a split second there I thought you had money on Govey being the next PM until I saw your username

Not badly mofied, fking awesome.

I'd have that in a hearbeat, and I don't even particularly like the 348.

An otherwise well modified car ruined by one of the sttest suspension setup I've ever seen.

It's just perplexing. Like marrying a model then sanding off her her face and replacing it with a cartoon drawing of Arsène Wenger.

The point I was trying to make is - it may not appeal to a lot of people but I don't think the mods have been done in a bodged up way.

Ruined but to a high standard?
