Badly modified cars thread Mk2

[Sharknose]

Probably a replica, but I just don't get this look:

What's worrying is I can't quite convince myself I don't like it.

I like it

Count me in too. Where do I send the deposit money?

£2,750? Really?

That is insane, seller is a madman. Nothing Chop Shop has ever created is worth saving but that monstrosity is so bad. Serious question, was that ever fashionable or purely over hyped because it was on TV?

The only half decent thing they really did was stick a V8 in a Capri, but then they should have left it at that and not let the little Indian guy fk about with the bodywork.

Passed an X6 in Swansea twice earlier that looked like this.......





I don't find the X6 the most handsome thing on the road anyway and then they go and do that to it.....

Poor show by Plod!

Ladies and gentleman...

Ever annoyed that the air going over your car is flowing too smooth? Fear no more!

Saw this beast parked up at Bluewater cinema on Saturday evening!



I still think this shape Leon looks very nice and this example was tidy apart from that amazing wing. Must really need that downforce!

[Krikkit]

The irony is that it's probably at either 0 or a -ve angle of attack and therefore doing absolutely sweet FA, if not providing a bit of lift (and masses of drag).

[Stickyfinger]

Keeps the rain off the rear window well, which is good as I cannot see the rear wiper working well

[Hugo a Gogo]

looks to be adjustable though, so he can set maximum downforce if entering a particularly twisty car park

Quite the opposite IMHO. Whilst it's a nice idea to raise some charity cash, the oil drum on the front is downright dangerous, obscuring a lot of the view out of the front of the car. Good on plod for doing something about it in my view.

Better if the 'boiler and funnel' mods were removable, and stow them in the boot, only fitting them for car shows, carnival parades, etc. I'm not against a bit of fun, but using that car, as-is, on the roads is just taking the piss, and probably contravenes all sorts of construction and use regulations.

Cupra R in that shape is a lovely thing, great cars and values starting to creep up. Why would you do that to one, assuming it is actually an R.

I think he lowered it just to be able to get into the car park.

If the plate didn't give it away... it's a Diesel.

^where does someone even get the inspiration to do something that crap? also whats the stuff on the surface of the boot? is it dirt?

[Gary29]

That 63 is wrecking my eyes, looks photoshopped almost.

[alpha channel]

Looks like gold flecked felt.

I expect the owner of the Leon on the previous page thinks they have a full on BTCC replica there with the spoiler

Nice painted on "Toyo" graphics on the tyres too - I wonder whether they actually are Toyo's or something else altogether
