Badly modified cars thread Mk3

Daft, but it looks fun and well put together. I think I am a 'yes' especially after ditching the awful hard top.

I'm in the 'if it gives someone pleasure then that's great, but it's not for me' category with that one..!

At least put an N-Line badge on it

Extensive enough to be considered a modification?

That's how it left the showroom. It's an XM Red Label

Surely if the term ‘putting lipstick on a pig’ was ever to be used…

Modest modification to an Audi Allroad here but significant enough to divide opinion.

Described in the classified ad as “Wagoneer aesthetic” and “a playful nod to the luxury off-roaders or the past”, I initially thought it was awful and then decided I rather liked it. But then my Dad had a Mercury station wagon when I was a kid in a similar colour scheme so maybe I am just being nostalgic.

Obviously by the outstanding Rover 200 BRM

I'd drive that. I think it's fun.

Interesting, were the business cards the people who did the conversion?
Do you think it is badly modified because Audi into Porsche or some other reason?

One has to wonder how the cabin area is isolated from engine noise (especially induction noise) and of course fumes...

There appears to be some bodywork cut away - obviously it's not possible to see how / if the rear has been braced to accommodate this.

Based on that (scant) information, I'd say it qualifies for inclusion in this thread.

Jesus, that's got to be the ugliest OEM car? Can't think of anything worse than that off the top of my head?

To learn you can buy them in this state was a real surprise after I posted the pic. I thought it was ar kid's first attempt.
