Options That Ruin Cars...
Discussion
Saw this Ford Kuga the other day whilst at Tesco and was shocked to see that someone had actually forked out £4,250 for the 'Individual Pack'. This, for that not unsubstantial sum of money, effectively ruins the whole car by fitting 19" wheels that will prevent any off-roading whilst at the same time a bodykit that looks completely stupid and trashes the design of what (to my eyes) is probably the best-looking small 4x4 on the market. Can anyone else come up with an option (on a 'normal' car - dolphin skin seats in Rolls Royces etc. don't count!) that represents worse value than this? Short of burning it, I can't really think of another way of throwing £4k away quite so quickly.

Do people buy a Ford Kuga to go offroading? Worst option i can think of at this moment is that pop out bike carrier on the Vauxhall Corsa.
How come? It's quite clever really. You don't need such a big car or pain in the ass bike rack? I quite often use a bike rack (it's very frustrating), if I was in the Market for a small car such as a corsa it would be a USP to consider.russy01 said:

If they offered it on a Fabia VRS I'd have it.That Kuga is gash though.

Possibly a company car? - someone wanted a Kuga, but had a bigger budget to spend?
I've often thought a new windscreen one one of those Astras must be horrendously expensive! Bet it looks pretty cool from the driving seat, though.
The Kuga's on Essex plates because it's in Essex.
Saying that, I too thought it would be FMC-registered (as so many of high-end Fords around here are) but this one had Essex Auto Group plates, so I think it's an actual customer car.
