Oh dear is this acceptable

Not sure what's happening with those sills, but apart from that, yellow paintwork, colour coded louvres and wheels ... looks ok to me 
And it's out there being used as someone just said. Not necessarily owned by a chav either as they still take some money to look after, more than your average Corsa I would guess.

There seem to be a lot of posts deriding people for fittting after market wheels and what not to Ferraris and Lambos - why is that? One of the things I love about the car hobby is that there is so much diversity in taste. If we all liked the same thing then car shows would be soooo boring 
The owner has not made any changes that aren't easily reversed. I have to say, overall I like it - not sure about the sills but I think the wheels work well enough. Ferraris and Lambos are not so universally special that they can't or shouldn't be modded. Some are just downright tacky, true enough, but lighten up folks, it's their car and their money.

Sure Al, but as you know, that car is going to have cost the owner a chunk of money to get to that condition - repair the rot, repair the interior (unless he's gone to Halfords...) full repaint, couple of old fluorescent light covers for the sills, tin of silver paint for the bumpers, 7 series BMW wheels and careful mistmatching of the yellow paint for the grilles....And it's out there being used as someone just said.

...when he could actually have restored it to original for pretty much the same cost, if even less!
But it is a Lambo though - a Urraco 
I like bigger wheels and low profile tyres on old cars. Not keen on the fit/style of those though.
I have an urge to fit some different wheels on my Espada (something very similar to the standard Campagnolos but 17" instead of 15" ). The springs/dampers would have to be changed at the same time to properly control the ride quality/handling. Maybe I should go and iron my hands....
PH'er Furryballer has oversize-but-similar-design-to-original wheels on a 308 - I think it looks great:
