Pretty sure it's an E46 estate, but with the inner (boot) lights "deleted" for some unknown reason.

I'd love to polish it all up and then go to a Ferrari concours event whilst staying totally deadpan though.

Whoever built that and whoever buys it both need neutering and barred from voting in elections

I disagree , who ever built that is quite skilled, it is just a bit of a weird design. The work itself looks pretty bloody good to me.

That is a shocking modification, the cable tie on the windscreen wiper looks horrendous

took me a while

Ignoring the questionable plumbing and that criminal cable tie. This photo shows another pet hate of mine prevalent on the 'Dub' scene. Badge delete drill but leaving the round cut out on the bonnet. It looks horrendous. Surely the badge delete is an attempt to clean up the front end and then you leave that horrendous detail there. Although I guess there is some strong evidence to suggest aesthetics weren't top priority with that car.

Reminds me of McIndoe's patients with the tube running from their face to their rebuilt nose.

The badge delete is just a badgeless grille, which is a 5 minute job. To fill the cut out in the bonnet properly needs welding, filling and spraying. Some grilles do come with a small plastic filler piece which does an ok job (from a distance, in the dark ..) though.

No, I get that but doing one thing and not the other just because it's the easy bit creates a horrible end result. Better to do both or neither.

Am I right in thinking 99.9% of these modern-monocoque-body-chopped-into-pick-up cars will never get another MoT?
