It's certainly different. Good/bad? That's a matter of taste...

Mad as a box of frogs, love it. Would repaint it gloss black.
RX-7 would be my guess. With mk2 MX-5 headlights, Viper style front bumper, and C4 Corvette rear lights
I want to say that the bonnet/hood scoop is from a 1996 TransAm (or at least sold as an aftermarket kit for one) - I believe the base car is/was an RX7
Certainly not an RX-7, door handles all wrong for an FD, and I don't think it is an FC, the door line seems off.
Proportions are wrong for an RX7 FD, but the rear pillars are close, I did think FB/SA22 RX7, but no pillars are rear glass are wrong, definitely not an FC.

It’s a FC RX-7

Reading that they said it's based on the FB they must have done a lot to the rear quarters to get the FD look. Thing is the FB was a great car and that looks a bit shi😡te really!

Sorry yes I meant FB, and yes it looks rubbish.

Not its first appearance, although it was a while ago, so I suspect the, er, work was done when the car was worth substantially less than it would be now.

Talking of terrible BMWs, Stephen Bears E90 needs a mention.

Much annoyance...black sprayed wheels, tinted rear lights, terrible spoiler, dodgy M graphics on the grille, mis-spaced number plate, misplaced plate.

I'm fairly certain that's had some different mods since it's last appearance on here

Just posted that in the CR4PPY plates thread. The man is a disgusting creature, and glad he did time for his actions.

Is the rear spoiler the wrong way round?

No wait it should be on the front.

Apart from the rear spoiler and the Ferrari badges, I think that looks great. Huge improvement on the car it was based on IMO. £26K is an ambitious price tag though.

I thought it looked more like it’s off a Subaru Impreza.

It's not like they do anything, it's purely for looks. Fails there too.

Channels the airflow over the caravan to improve mpg.
