Not that im thinking of another just guaging reaction?

Should this happen to a big Cat or should they be left alone to age gracefully. Im on the fence, seeing it from the build side, if thats your bag then why not do it to a great car but i'd prefer a bit more subtlety

hmmm, going for the ol' Broadspeed XJC look, which I do like, but this is possibly just on the edge of going too far...

Not to my taste. There is a really nicely modified SIII I see about occasionally. I have spoken to the owner a couple of times. Very few and subtle exterior mods but it has modern A/C, fuel injection, and stereo system fitted. A very nice LPG system where the filler for the LPG is hidden under one of the original filler caps and the LPG tanks replace the petrol tanks. Last time I spoke to the owner he had gotten hold of an written off X350 XJR and was planning to fit the engine + supercharger to it. Looking forward to seeing it when finished.

This would look excellent, the one in the OP looks chav.

I've just noticed that the rear spoiler seems to have a positive angle of incidence, rather than a negative one....This will actually create lift at the back end!!

Looks like something that Berni and Leepu would have created, which is code for rubbish!

Lost the spoiler and return boot to standard and lose the stickers and badges and it will look 10 x better

Those wheels will be worth £2500 straight off the bat.
I'd be tempted for 15-20k, like I said lose the spoiler, stickers, NOS bks, standard front grill, no tints and it would look a lot better
