I was just about to say that. I like the seats. The seats are nice. Yup, I'm having trouble moving on from there.

tbh I didn't think it's so bad, I've seen much more horrific cars. Not something I'd do like

Metaphorically flayed over the bonnet, from what i remember the 3rd reich were a little more "hands on" than suggesting a virtual punishment on an internet forum :lol:

Yeah, but they also had an aversion to anything different. Personally, if i knew how much this sort of thing pi$$ed off the snobs i'd love driving it!!

Someone's had a go on this thread and she's got an orange car. Oh, but she's one of the gang...

Perhaps ones definition of what is tastefully modified and what is truly horrendous differs where i come from? Jo's car is a single colour with a nice kit on it, this abomination looks like the Jap chav'd version of Starsky and Hutch.

Still if you like it, and would love to drive it then bid on it :D

If this car was a 1987 Toyota Starlet that had been got at by Westwood and the crew on 'Pimp My Ride' everyone would be going 'that's amazing' and 'what a car' (maybe).

I personally don't like the flames down the side, but then again I remember endless red Cortinas and Vivas in the late 70s with a big 'L'-shaped white strip a la Starsky and Hutch.

It's not so bad and I've seen worse. Like mine for example which currently has one wing a different shade of blue to the rest of the car :D

A world of conformity wouldn't be much fun now, would it?
