Badly modified cars thread Mk3

Look like they could be universal ones. I’d assume the rest is custom fibreglass so it would make sense that they would just buy basic universal lights.

Looks like they match these Hella lights for a Mercedes Sprinter van. https://m.autodoc.co.uk/hella/935490

Frankly, I assume the owner of that Buzz Lightyear Focus to be on some sort of register, and not allowed near schools.

With the locale, I think a call to AWE would be in order as something could be leaking…

Definitely driven by a 'weapon' of atomic levels...

Quite possibly - I've been trying to unsee various things

Seriously thought this was a photoshop at first.

I wonder why it needed 4 new tyres.

Reminds me of this weird Alfa I saw on Collecting Cars

I actually think they've done pretty well transforming an MR2. It's a shame they did all that work then some fat b'stard sat on the front of the bonnet.

Has Leepu had his hands on this one?

It’s no where near the worst car that’s appeared. It has a cohesive theme and none of the mods seem to be actively dangerous.

Not quite my idea of a bit of fun but whatever floats your boat. Suppose remove the stickers etc and it's back to standardish but my view is that plastering Buzz Light-year all over your car is a) weird in a being on a register type way and b) is badly modified.

This merc has all the mod cons, including hot and cold running water

Maybe his mechanic heard incorrectly when he said he wanted new tappets.

But, conceptually, is it really any worse than a Scooby Doo Mystery Machine, Lightning McQueen or even Knight Rider/Smokey and the Bandit, General Lee or DeLorean. Something for kids to identify with. Sure, Buzz never had a car but hey....

You realise that nonces don't tend to want to draw attention to themselves? No wonder no one wants to do anything outside the norm in this country, someone mods their car and everyone insinuates that they're a deviant.

Exactly. I like dinosaurs. I'd love a grown-up sized one of those kiddy coats with the spines on the hood, but even if they existed I wouldn't have one, because there'd be a queue of miserable bullies lining up to give me grief about it.

If someone wants Buzz Lightyear on their car, more power to them. There is much to admire about Space Ranger Lightyear.

It's nigh time that none flexible bonnet ornaments are banned. Imagine being hit as pedestrian at a survivable speed, but something like that hooking in to you and ripping you open, or leaving you disfigured. That aside, yes, it's a crap modification.
