The naffness of that bodykit and wheels is just about offset by the coolness of the roofbox adaptation.

Fast car roof boxes are a thing, I think these on Koenigseggs are/were an option when you bought one.

"Spins in every gear but can still put all the power down" how does that work then?…all with around 240hp, I think it may have oil leaking on the tyres if it spins in 5th or 6th eh? They painted the exhausts and intercooler too.

With such bizarre looks I was hoping for a 6R4 Mini.

Nearly made my eyes bleed, but curiously difficult to photograph.
There is a Nissan GTR with this kind of holographic wrap on it but blocked up into geometric sections around Newcastle ... I think it looks great and really suits it being an edgy car

That's certainly rustic. I think they should have made the spoiler out of deer antlers though.

Reminds me of a Merc S-class I saw probably 5 years ago in London - entirely wrapped in what looked like black suede. No reflections whatsoever, it was like looking at a car-shaped hole in the universe.

I also slightly like that holographic wrap BMW. Sorry.

Looks like a wrap but a few years ago a paint colour called liquid silver came out.It had a similar effect but cost something like £500 per litre.

Finished up and modified that would look quite nice. The VAG boys would go crazy for it if it was modded up and on air ride etc.

TVR had Spectraflair silver, might not be quite the same effect as that BMW, but it looked plain silver in dull light and did this in the sun

How to take one of the most iconic and pretty much flawless car designs of the last 20 years and ruin it.

Clearly done by someone who looks at a Masonary product and thinks "Mmmmm, nice" Driven at speed through a Halfords MaxPower section. Horrid in every way, not beyone rescue, but its at least £10K over priced with all that "damage"... Prognosis "not good".

You don't seem to see as much of this Barry Boy nonsense these days, well not in Edinburgh.
Spotted at Cameron Toll shopping centre.
It's more nonsense what you have written. The demise of barry boys is the best thing ever, what a bunch of self absorbed pricks.

ps spoilers, stickers, neons who cares.

My instant reaction was "take the wrap off the bonnet and that'd be ok" but on closer inspection the wheels are st, the rear valence thing is st and those tailpipes, I don't understand what they were even trying for there.

Aubamanyang (spelling??) from Arsenal had his LaFerrari wrapped like this by Yanni .... looked good.

Tinted headlights. Lovely.




You know what you need to balance your high downforce aero package on an NSX? Yes that's right, a high downforce roofbox the size of another NSX

I’ll sticky my head above the parapet and say I like both of these...

I think you can get Stockholm syndrome on this thread. You start by hating the badly modified cars, after a while you don’t want to leave, and then, finally you realise you really like them. We need help.
