Well, exactly. If your pickup needs a roofbox, it suggests you've not exactly nailed the pickup part.

That front end fitment.....

Cosworth bodykit on a FWD non-Cosworth car, without realising the Cosworth had a longer wheelbase to accommodate the 4WD drivetrain?

Escort GTI base, it's on Ebay.
Looks like a Tamiya model that's melted.

Spotted on facebook

Just popped up on YouTube in hampshirephotos channel. Decided I wouldn't bother watching it...

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?

It's a 500bhp plus full on Time Attack car. Recently bought by a new owner.

[anonymous-user]

If the rear wing is past the outside edges of the car, doesn't it make it an MOT failure?

Some people need rules. They like rules. They want to be ruled.

I always find crap like that to be really handy in not buying a car.

The chav red anodised flap paddles simply seal it.

I understood that if someone had done a quality job on something, even if you don't like it, then it couldn't be classed as 'badly' modified.

This isn't like mumsnet. You're allowed to decide if it's bad or not.

There are limits to subjectivity and bad concepts do exist; a coprophiliac is not an "alternative gourmet", he/she is a pervert.

There is a Reddit thread perfect for this.

Aweful Taste But Great Execution.

Personally though I don’t mind it.

Fair enough, I posted it having seen loads of, 'you might not like it but it's not done badly' type posts over the years.
