Badly modified cars thread

Fair play and all but the wheels and grill look terrible, also don't like how they changed the profile of the wings to accommodate the wheels, Could of tried to keep it looking like a e-type or improve how it looks then I'd like it

Aesthetically I agree the wheels are too big for my taste, but then I'm not paying the piper or having the skills to do the work myself.

In Alfa Orange

Apart from the colour and the wheels that's standard I think?

Think I recognise that car, South West Cruisin.

You know how the answer to many "What car" questions on here is MX5, well I give you this:

This was on ebay a few months back, poor car!

i think it's good for colour blind policemen when someone writes the colour of the car on the bodywork to avoid confusion.

Looks like a regular mx5, maybe some have something against the colour for some reason?

Not sure if this is badly modified or not...

...I think I kind'a like it actually.

Looks better than it did after Ford were originally finished with it...

Could you make a scorpio look any worse?

But.. isn't that a classic Nismo style bonnet vent? If you ask me the Nismo bonnet is acceptable, if there's some performance to back it up.
Other than that, the body work looks well done but I just don't understand why.. if anything the bonnet is ok but the E46 bit is the tasteless part
And the stancing is, as always, daft.

Just because its made by NISMO doesn't mean it looks good, Not with the e46 front anyway IMO,
I've known lads the done stuff like this because they tipped a car and parts were expensive so just used what was in the yard, Front conversions are common on S-bodys, always putting 180sx fronts on because S15 lights are expensive ect, This would be a bit more difficult but same idea,
It looks cool, wouldn't be a bad car, its a funky idea but as is, It would be a trailer-queen(over here), and It would look better original so it was pointless, so wouldn't be for me, interesting if nothing else IMO.

thing that fries my mind is the amount of work thats gone into grafting one car onto another and at the end of it what you got, that most sought after mass produced 3 series look.

Badly modified, but still better than a stock Accord

Badly modified??

[rosino]

This weekend I came across this in Primrose Hill (London). I think I had seen it before in the area. I find it utterly and incredibly revolting. The attention to the detail is absolutely spectacular, down to the canvass wrapped roof. I just don't get it.

Apologies if it had already made it to this wall of shame.. but if not it certainly deserves a top spot on it.

I actually think that's acceptable. You are going to stand out in a Lambo so why not stand out properly.

That's a lot of aerials they've affixed! Crazy thing to say, but it looks like they've taken inspiration from a Peterbilt or Kenworth, no?

Instinct says it should go here (as does the URL!) but I kind of like it...

Took delivery of a BMW 2002 that had been ''modified'' in the name of ''stance''.

An example of the kind of workmanship found on closer inspection.

That's shocking!

Somebody broke the suspension on their Honda...



Not sure if this is a repost, but how to make an already ugly car monumentally hideous...

That has to be a Hot Wheels toy that has been enlarged in photoshop. No one in their right mind would actually do that to a full size SLR, would they ..... ?

Unfortunately it is very real.

Apparently it cost $9 million

The interior is worse than the exterior, if that's even possible...
