Abortion that it is, and there can't be many cars in history, modified or otherwise, where the lengths of the front and rear overhangs must be almost equal to the length of the sills. it's still an improvement on the original.

When the TR7 was unveiled, none other than Giugiaro himself stood and looked carefully at the side of the car, before moving around it, and exclaiming "My God! They've done it to the other side as well!"

That is hilarious and impressive in equal measure. Hilarious as not even Stevie Wonder would actually mistake it for a Ferrari, but strangely impressive as it must take a certain degree of dedication, bravery and madness to build something like this.
They made a few of them, last one I saw came up for sale was about 3 years ago but that was red.
I kind of like it in yellow though, in a strange sort of way.
Someone needs to buy it and turn up at a Ferrari Owner's Club meet

Could they not get the wheels closer together?

CL500 with naff body kit in a daft colour with stupid plates.

Badged up as a CL63, of course.

Just think; with all that money spent on ruining the looks, the ride and the handling he could have bought a CL63.



Obviously fake AMG cars are the height of vulgarity, but without the badge, interior and with some spacers for those ludicrously lost wheels I wouldn't mind that. I like orange and black, and by the standards of just this page that body kit is reasonably straight and coherent.

Two young lads (still living at home, I presume) down the street from me, gasped/wheezed/rumbled home in this sorry old Lincoln a couple of weeks ago. They have promptly (and badly) primer'd it, put a gurney flap on the trunk lid, some horrendous LED headlights and a set of ridiculous steel wheels and cheapo tires.





Definitely the kind of thing I'd have done as a 16 year old, had I lived here back then!

If that were matte black or rusty, and lacking the boot spoiler, it would be brilliant.

That looks like one of those racing car beds you can get for kids.

Absolutely, I cannot see the point in a wide body conversion with such narrow wheels, the owner is probably looking for 5" wheel spacerslaugh

Quite like the colour though!

Is it wrong that I like that (with the eyes of a 16/17 year old)?
