WHY

GMcL · Jul 3rd, 2007, 07:59

Too much time in front of the TV watching Blue Peter as a child I think.

The thing is someone has obviously gone to a lot of time and effort when you look at the individual parts. The curve in the rear bumper and that bonnet scoop must have needed at least ten empty corn flakes packets.

Still, it kept the owner out of trouble while working on their project.

The owner has knocked hundreds off the resale value as well as '000s off their bank balance.

It's got one thing going for it, with a boot spoiler that big you would never loos it in a multi storey car park, LOL

Jul 3rd, 2007, 08:33

now ive seen what the others have said the only thing i do like is the colour and that back thing (spoiler?)has just wasted the complete look of it

sorry

that spoiler makes it fly! i mean the flap flap kind of fly.

ok thinking about it...
the colour is nice, but the front end may as well be a saxo. the back lights are clearly a misfit and that bonnet....god... i am sure theres not a mad max style engine in there, that mess will do nothing but slow the car down lol. Now if i got that car, id do the following:

off with the full front end
refit OEM parts
keep that front bumper and the same paintwork
get rid of its wing(s) and those lights,
fit an 850 R rear bumper

....nice car then

A photo of this car appeared on the back page of 'Computing' magazine last week.

It's bloody awful in looks but I do agree the colour is nice.

The finish is just amateur. Remove the spoiler (quite an apt name) and the bonnet blister (another apt name) and it would look passable.

Bloody hoodie boy racers.

is it me or is the left side of the aptly named spoiler longer than the right side?

That's to create extra downforce on the left side of the car to balance out the weight of billy-no-mates in the drivers seat.
