That s horrific. I agree take the tatt off and it looks nice.

I'm not sure about the red seat belts but otherwise I like the interior and agree without the tatt it's quite nice.

It was in the OMG category on auto trader. Does the lister add the category or is that an AI thing?

Found this whilst browsing AT. I find the bumper on this odd. Basically a bumper that makes the front of a mk3 GS look more like the mk4

Has this done a Princess any favours?

I suspect that is done tongue in cheek? That said there can't be many Princesses left, it "almost" seems a shame to do that to one, but I suppose much of it is easily reversed?

Its not the worst mod I seen, looks quite well done.

I had a model Princess. My father had a Princess 2. I "whale-tailed" and air-dammed that model. Looked pretty good.

I don’t think I’d even notice it.

Some of them are honestly impressive in the wrong way, like you can tell a lot of effort and money went in but the end result just does not quite work together. I do think there is a fine line between a clean custom build and something that just looks thrown together, and once you go past that it is hard to come back from it. Still, I guess it keeps things interesting even if you would not personally drive it.

I dont mind that at all, the mk3 looks dated and this looks like a nicely done facelift. I dont know the models that well so looks factory to my eye.

Not the car I saw, just an image of Google but can we agree that F1 style rain lights on road cars look ste especially on chavved up hatchbacks?

[Don1]

Agreed.

Are they to replace a fog light, what is their purpose on a road car? Surely they are not always on?

From our very own classifieds, so I dare say the owner is a user.

It's a 1988, 1998, 911 Turbo GT3 Carrera 2.
Comes with a briefcase, which is neat.

I think the purpose is to tell everyone you wish you were Hamilton or Verstappen and you drive the local roads like Silverstone

I saw them on a M140i and they were flashing as he went past. It also had the loudest pops and bangs map I've ever heard. Can't be good for the car.

Apart from the bonnet/frunk ‘vents’, I don’t hate it.

Doesn't the flashing speed up the harder you brake?

They're enough to give you an epi fit!
