Not a fan of the OE bumper, but that's a cracking colour and looks very clean. Wrong thread, for me at least.
For sure, it is, but IMO the yellow lights and black wheels ruin it. I suppose it is subjective though.
Exactly what I thought. It's a few hundred quid from looking perfectly decent, but it looks st now
I'll stick up for Fermit too. Horrible car with the shiny paint and yellow lights being the worst bits.
It’s awful. Paint looks like a cheap wrap and the black wheels are lost on it. I expect it appeals to a 20 yr old though.

Spotted this on eBay, £14,495. Not overly offensive but still badly modified.

Wheels would certainly look better in another colour, but the yellow lights are from the CSL I believe, so don't mind them personallysmile

Certified 20-year-old here. I do not like the G8x cars, that one is especially nasty.

The Golf they're selling qualifies for the thread too. Described as "full body kit a real head turner" Steer clear of this seller lol



Quite impressed that the miserable base interior is untouched too

Another Cat S, but with the benefit of "popping sound from exhaust"...

And what are those ugly things stuck on the rear windows? Neither use nor ornament springs to mind.

Louvres, the Ford Focus boys love them.

I'm viewing this on my phone, I zoomed in and genuinely thought it had a bike carrier on the back...

So how do you open the boot?!?! Is the lawnmower handle hinged at the bottom where it meets the bumper? Does a 4wd hatchback really have a problem with insufficient downforce at the rear?

Not one redeeming thing about this.

Definitely needs more wings and louvres, it looks too understated.

It might if it's a stripped out time attack car.

Funny timing there. Walking down the road yesterday there was a chaved up Golf R with those fitted. It looked gash.

Very much right thread! I love pick up conversions but they need to look right, the bed needs to be much longer than it is here (see Holden Maloo for reference). The roofbox is a stupid instagram addition, and let's not start on the rear support it!

I am more puzzled as to how it can be road legal, looks dangerous to me
