Knock off the vents and the silly spoiler and that would look decent.

As well as taking into account this was done in the 70's (not sure if thats an excuse or a justification! But back then it was probably pretty 'cosmic')

I lived through the 70s and liked some of the gash that was puked out but not that... never that....

Is it not just a photoshop?
The red along the front looks a different shade to the rest, and there is some odd lines on the front edge of the bonnet

Truthfully i didn't look at the number plate.... I could tell from the door handle mostly

Could be a photoshop but the reflection looks pretty okay in the bonnet? i mean it's not beyond the realms of possibility that it could be real, it's not like either cars are worth alot. Colour difference could just be from dodgy paint match, i've got enough of that on my own car.

This is actually hilarious, a 1.2 SXI trying to be a 1.8 SRI and then the lights and glow in the dark tape.

Novel way in the top picture to get an F1 style rake on it by letting all the air out of the front tyre

Top photo makes me think it should be driven about the local ice rink between skating sessions.

Not nearly as bad as some on this thread, but I reckon this possibly qualifies.

Loving this. At least the rear bumper looks like it's a rear bumper, albeit for another type of car with a right hand exit exhaust. The side skirt on the other hand, looks like a bit of fence panelling.

E30 M3, evo sport..2.5, they are worth a fortune. Hand in your ph card if you can’t spot a perfect example of one of the motoring greats.

That was a lot of trouble to got to in order to hide the registration plate on the Yaris. Especially as the Vectra just gets white rectangles.

Thats really horrible, they haven't even bothered to put the mesh on the inside of the bumper. I struggle to imagine what must go through peoples heads when they do this to a car and somehow feel that they have improved it

Can’t quite make my mind up if awful or interesting

That's awesome, it does have a v8 after all

Yup, It's a shame the nanny state we call Britain doesn't allow this kind of thing

I'm assuming the roof will still work on that and therefore I think it's awesome.

It's rather low at the back. I dread to think about kerbs, speedbumps or potholes with that.
