For those who don't want a shonky old Jag and would prefer something a little more up to date with a Fast and Furious twist, this Clio ticks all the right boxes. It may only sport a 1149 cc engine, but don't be fooled, it has a 'powerful dual exhaust!' Hard as it may be to believe, the car doesn't come with an Mot, but at a bargain £600 what do you expect. Next you'll be wanting door handles and number plates!
Ex show car of course. Designed to show the world that you're a total tool methinks.

that clio is AWFUL

but modifying a 1.2 clio isn't a bad thing

i'd rather see the young-uns spending their money on their cars, learning about cars and respecting the vehicle because of the money they are spending on it! better than beer and fags and drugs.

I used to spend time tweaking my metro clubman....spots, metro turbo steering wheel and some sony hifi speakers in the boot (haha)

if the internet had been around, the car would have had more crap stuck to it.

its a great hands on hobby even if its crap

Blimey, that Clio is a big old throwback of early '00's modifications to look at.

I thought the front end looked a bit weird, then I realised they'd grafted / bodged a set of Peugeot 206 Morette (or the angel eye lookalike knock-offs) onto the front end.

There are many ways to tastefully modify an RX-7. This isn't one of them.

Or the photo was taken on a Motorola G4/cheap smartphone, the processing on the G4 can give a watercolour/oil painting effect without any user interference (it was much, much worse before an update toned it down as well).

S4 replica track car, which looks nothing like an S4 and has never been on the track. Highlights include duck taped on front bumper from a later model, rear doors sealed shut with filler and a sheet metal dashboard

What a div !....^^^^^

"No MOT ,but should fly through."

Well ,spend 40-50 quid and the car is worth way more with a year's MOT on it.

Genuine question, but whilst removing airbags is an MOT fail, since he's changed the instrument pod to something without an airbag light would that then pass?

I don't dislike the colour of this. Not sold on the interior though.

I particularly like the screens in the rear headrests, presumably so that in traffic jams people in the car behind can also enjoy the entertainment. And to think BMW drivers are stereotyped as selfish...

So should this be here or the decently modified thread? I'm talking about the look, not whether it's well engineered. Over to you....

like bar the front axle
It's intriguing and imaginative, but I agree the front axle is carp. Crude, when the rest is carefully thought out.
axle itself is fine, it's that transverse spring mounting bracket and the front frame rail

Why have screens on the rear seat headrests?
