Haha, that's brilliant, yes it's ridiculous but I bet everyone smiles wherever it goes! Good sense of humour!!

Yeah, I reckon that gets a pass for so obviously being a piss-take.

Yes it was an MGF. The chap who "designed" it is on the MGF Register Facebook page. He says he was once an Austin Rover apprentice. Make of that what you want.

Here's a front view.

to be fair for a 'home build' it's not as bad as some I've seen - just the design itself seems somewhat.... errrm 'lacking'

Again it's one of those "well executed, but possibly dubious taste" jobs - does that mean it's "badly" modified?

To be honest, if it were a small, low, 2 door coupe with that styling and maybe a roof I think it would look great although it would look very similar to a few cars on the market then

It is a development for a body kit to fit the MGF/TF. These are becoming popular with the younger people who want to build a car but avoid the IVA test.
The guy who is designing it is a professional car designer, Paul Goldsmith, who does work in the main stream. His last car was an Audi R8 inspired car called the Jabaki JA8 which was based on the MR2.

They may not to be everyones taste, including mine, however Steve Hole for TKC magazine seemed to rate the fit and finish of his work.

Hmm, the JA8. Does look well put together. Also looks rubbish..

Thats got to knock 15 mph off the top end surely

Is it actually a spoiler or some random packaging material?

Looks like someone has put the side skirt in the wrong place.

Seems to be a decent Parker!

Surely this deserves a mention:

Can be distilled to: "Buy this undriveable 1000hp abomination! Its road legal, probably. We're not sure, these are all just renderings cause we haven't actually built one yet"

"These are all just rendings because no one has given us any money to build one yet because nobody is that stupid."

The "decently modified thread" or whatever it's called.

I like that.

No photo as I was driving, but I followed a Focus ST today, slammed to the floor. It was black with the tints, smoked glass etc, but had flourescent orange mudflaps on all four wheels, which because of the height of the car, were all dragging along the ground. Is this a "thing" now?
