Wrong thread for me. I think it looks pretty cool.

No this thread is for badly modified which I take to mean quality of the mod install not the fact it’s done in bad taste as in chavvy

The Metro could well be in here as the install is helping with wood screws and plywood therefore we don’t actually know if its badly modified or not

I think you'll find the thread covers examples of both - bad taste and badly executed (which the offending owners should be).

For me badly modified is poor quality and poor taste.

Stolen from the daily mail

'replica' of a car from 'Cars' the pixar movie, called Wingo
the trio of young hoodlum cars that caused McQueen's truck to lose McQueen

I'm glad others agree that it might be misplaced. I'm Hoping it's there next week so i can try and look under it. Hope it won't be raining and I won't be suited and booted this time...

Please keep us posted. I’m hoping when you look under the front you see a sump, gear box, short exhaust and drive shafts

I think it highly unlikely another B202 SAAB engine is in the front of the Metro.

Far too big to get it in long wise.

Take a look at the length of a SAAB 900 bonnet needed to cover that lot....

This is superb but unfortunately out of my price range.

At least the seller has a sense of humour ! ' AYNALI FARK ' !!

Where to start.

All the work put into the car and they couldn't even get the mirrors mounted properly

[lucido grigio]

2 points about the comedy M3.

Rear wheels are about 2 feet wide and cost 4K and still don't fit the arches properly.

Only 27000 miles ,because he never wanted to be seen driving it ?

+1. Looks pretty cool and how could it not be fun to drive

[lucido grigio]

I was going to ask whether that was an Audi front on a BMW or vice versa but it's neither.

Is it a Subaru with Audi and BMW panels ?

No I hadn't seen it on FB.

ETA ,checked it on MOT.GOV after posting that ^^

I haven’t checked it and don’t use FB so haven’t seen it anywhere other than here .., I’d guess it’s a scooby underneath though looking at the passenger cell proportions

Apparently it was 'done', by done I mean 'f****d up', by some Jeremy Kyle guest in Ipswich.............which doesn't surprise me.

I think it looks like a good job! Apart from whatever is going on with the front grill?

what a waste of B&Q bath panels that is

[SimonTheSailor]

Holy st. I'm not surprised its been sitting in a garage fpr 15 years - it was too embarrassed to come out !

[AlexRS2782]

at that BMW. I'm not surprised it's been in a garage 15 years. They couldn't get the fuel pump in after they fitted the rear arches (term used loosely)

Edit - probably why the roof is left still down - it's the only way of getting in as the outside handles are so far back in the door

A few pics copied over, if anyone isn't able to access the link.
