I've defended Overfinch on here before. But those exhausts...in fact that entire rear end is inexcusable.

I like that.... yet I like X6s so what do i know

The JaaaagAston above - pass me the eye-bleach.

What a wreck. God knows what you'd catch from the carpets by the state of them. The lights somehow look like a Skyline but not. The wheels are some sort of JDM fanboi spec and would look great on the right car, which this isn't. And as for the steering wheel "badge", it's a proper Blue Peter sticky-back plastic job. What an absolute fk-tard.

I like it, although the exhausts look a bit bizarre. I also like X6s and drive a Range Rover Sport, so I guess it's a "halo" car appeal to me.

Have to agree, I like it too. And that blue paint is stunning...

Yes, it's a really nice colour. Would be a nightmare to keep clean though

Horrible. Even ignoring the poorly executed bling, they have somehow made it look even more heavy and lumpen than the standard one, which is quite an achievement. If obesity was a car, this would be it.

I think the biggest problem is that none of it fits properly.
Looks like bits from various cars bolted together with only a cursory attempt to try and instill any cohesion. Probably because it is.

The wheels are especially tragic.

Looks like a B is for Build special

Cars like that remind me of the photo that did the rounds of a Cavalier painted like the General Lee complete with Dodge Charger badges on the boot. No, it's still a Vauxhall...

Is that MDF ‘spoiler’ from Ikea’s bathroom range?

[67Dino]

Assuming ‘badly’ in the title here means either poor craftsmanship or inadvisable design. If the latter, I humbly submit this one.

Aside from the bonnet and the rear wing, I don't mind that. Then again I am a 90s kid so a Fibresports Capri was high on my want list.

Whatever happened to Fibresports? Are they still around?

90's?! I'm from the 70's so this is right up my street!..

...could be salvaged.

Thousands spent he says, should have spent it on brain medicine.

And the bgw, pulsar bonnet scoop and shopping list, could then be moved into the other thread...

Golf that used to be a gti but now a 1 off R

Change the turbo and go from 300bhp to 500!

It looks quite chavvy, and anyone who actually wants a mk 4 golf has got a screw loose, but if the work all checks out, it should be quite decent.

TBH I was going off D-Angle's post and so had already swapped out the bonnet
