i can admire the individuality of the car

What's "individual" about a bagged 90s-or-early-00s German saloon car? It's literally the most played out look in the modifying world and has been for about 5 years.

Poor Capri

I presume that it is the same kit as this (going back to page 31 of the thread):

I present you the Aston Capri, which simultaneously manages to offend both Aston & Ford devotees, while being worth less than either:





Recently auctioned for £3,500 (https://www.swva.co.uk/classic-car/aston-martin-volante-replica-based-on-a-ford-capri-1972/), the text says that the owner bought it for over £8k and then restored it.

But at least your one is cheaper!

Excuse the crap picture, it was zoomed in from behind. I see this being driven like a boy racer around York quite a bit, also has those stupid bright LED headlights in halogen housing. But this exhaust is something else.

I hadn’t noticed the pipes. I just think with a nice engine under that it could be quite the weapon. I also think from the rear shot it looks well executed even restrained. Panel gaps I can’t see well enough and at £999 there’s scope to spend a bit and make something quite special.

Here is the advert. he wants £5000, not £1000.

Nothing says "Gangsta! badass" more than a drop so low you can't actually get out of your mom's drive (you'll still be living at home, obvs) in your middle manager diesel E class

I owned a W210 E-Class for a few years and the standard coil-sprung suspension on mine looked like that by the time I sold it. But only on one corner. And the paint wasn't so shiny - mine was mostly a sort of iron oxide colour.

Was a hateful thing in the end. Wouldn't touch another with a bargepole.

It's amazing how people can lose all sense of proportion!

Thanks, in the light of new evidence of actually a £5k asking price the seller can Foxtrot Oscar.

Rare Stevie Wonder Aerokit equipped 986....

That’s a special car for a special person.

The guy who owns this also has a Lambretta SX200 in exactly the same colour scheme..

EDIT- just remembered his user name on another forum 'CoolCat'..

Hilarious pricing as well. MOT history would show that it hasn't actually moved in 7 years (except when the mileage went up a bit, then down again)....

Doesn't belong on this thread, a lot of time, effort and money has been spent on that and i think it looks very well done, on air ride it'll be perfectly drivable.

I'd have the plate and scrap the rest...

Looks like yet another advert for Specsavers....whoever "did" this should not be allowed anywhere near sharp or hot surfaces !

[DaveyBoyWonder]

I like that Merc but someone else said it, its becoming the next step once you've got bored of your bagged Golf these days. Bag an A8/E-Class or if you're proper "baller" bag an R8.
