It's not as hideous as many on here, but spotted this minger driving like an a-hole in heavy traffic south on M40 from Silverstone.

Where and side vent surrounds in a Reddy pink too...

If the VDUB Crew are still around they're going to tell you that is amazing and you're just a hater.

Poor MR2 frown

Why choose Megane Coupe/Cab rear clusters ... such an odd choice but I guess that matches the rest of the thinking!!

This may not be to your taste, but it isn't badly modified, it's actually very professionally modified by its owner and executed to a high standard! It's also on static suspicion, not air!

Opinions are personal, I love this little car!

I agree with it being on this thread. Why would you want to do that to a car?

I think it should be here, due to the "choice" to do that to the suspension (even) destroys the cars original poor handling...so a technical "bad" choice gets it i for me:

That's Matt's old Reds True BBQ car isn't it?

If you know how these are modified you know that with just a front beam, a set of drop spindles and some rear spring plates this can be done in less than half a day and is easily reverted back to standard. You can also fettle with ride height to your hearts content like you can with a set of coils.

The only downside I've ever found is the obvious rear tyre wear and rear bearings not holding up so long.

Oh and the camber, well that's just what happens when you lower a swing axle!

I love the beetle. Quite like the Vivaro as well but then I drive a T5 on air so I guess that should be in this thread too?

The Merc/hot rod thing though - I cannot literally think of a way to beat that on this thread. Its unreal.

Ah yes, the Karmeleon kit. Sadly quite popular a decade or so ago, although fortunately most have now rotted under the wight of all that filler. Hateful things.
