So there's the decently modified and the badly modified. How about a thread for cars with next to nothing modified.

I spotted this Fiat Coupe last week...

I came within an ace of buying one of these - unfortunately the nicest example I saw had one major flaw. No oil showing on the dipstick at all.

But that rear spoiler definitely isn't standard.

And I'm not sure about the sills either.

It seems to be a thing with Fiat Coupe owners that they have a Ferrari. God knows why.

Nor the front and rear valances (looks like an LE bodykit). So essentially the OP has started a thread about standard cars, with an example of a modified one... hehe

Proof that modified is better. Doesn't have to be a full on mad build, but subtle mods and a bit of lowering always make a car look better.

What sort of petrol head wouldn't want to personalise their car? It's no fun having exactly the same car as someone who buys it and has no real clue what they have.

Thats not very OEM is it.

There is nothing quite like a factory fresh "cool car".

My vr ltd mk1 comes like what it did off the boat 10 years ago by a previous owner



It does have different wheels on it now though. And a big fk off loud twin exit exhaust system with decat pipe.
