That poor E46. Even if it has got horrible coloured seats, it doesn't deserve that.

I can't make out who the bonnet is? I can see the backwards fake RS Turbo vents, that it's owned by Trev...

lucy pinder. the photo might be from around 2012.
cant find an image that isnt watermarked, so makes one wonder how the person got it. did they pay? off a fan site? who thinks to themselves 'yes i'd like lucy pinder on my front bonnet'. The photo might be from her at the premiere of the strippers vs werewolves movie she was in.. so did someone drive around for 10years with that on their bonnet?

Gentlemen. May I present this fine specimen of Mad Max fanboyism as seen in Chester Morrisons car park this afternoon. Please note the V8 and Interceptor badges on the bootlid, the MFP plate and finally the quad pipe side exit exhausts on each side. Alas no front pictures as I was laughing too much and SWMBO was not amused.
I've seen that near Chester, it's horrendous.
Like not even done tongue in cheek.

I actually quite like that. The BMW is a joke mind, and can't say I much fancy the colour scheme on the 911.

The other angle is that 'having' Lucy Pinder on your bonnet might not necessarily be a bad thing evil

Saw that elsewhere for sale, I concluded that it would be a fun summer runabout.

For sale near me, he’s got a mk4 escort cab in as well. Keep meaning to call in just to look at it.

Panel gaps suggest that the Scirocco has a very flexible body; ie. badly modified.

Seems to have something of a bizarre history. The convertible conversion appears to have been done, or at least registered, in 2017 which is when the Q plate was assigned. One assumes that was put on further to the modification of the original body. The car was then presented for an MOT in 2018 with 68,000 odd on the clock; presumably, therefore, the majority of the mileage has been covered pre-chop.

Since then the Scirocco has barely turned a wheel despite being MOTd twice more and, worryingly, receiving the same advisory note for a dodgy tyre on both occasions. Last MOT was three years ago, which has since expired and nothing done since. More concerningly, the date of manufacture isn't recorded so its legal age will be per the registration document, i.e. 2017. Unfortunately, however, it's not ULEZ compliant and will have to wait a very long time for the forty year exemption it would shortly have been eligible for, had the original registration been retained.

Fun curio, but not sure I'd buy it.

I'm finding it difficult to follow the thought process that resulted in that thing.

Maybe someone said "you need a new rear suspension" and the creative genius involved replied "I can do better than that"
