On first thoughts its a mess, on second thoughts it is absolutely hideous. Has it got an off-road lift kit on it or something? ;) I realise its because of the incredibly low profile tyres.

I just think that there is nothing cohesive about the bodykit and the rear lights look like a blue peter effort at best in all honesty.

I don't believe for a minute it has 160bhp either.

the wheels are seriously awful too.

The interior isn't too badly done by the looks of it, though i'm not a fan of cream interiors tbh.

Walk away Wayne... ;)

That's all wrong. No, no, no. If he's to be believed, its cost him in excess of 11k. For that I'd rather have a couple of super-chargers.

hideous and I'm not too keen on the position of the rear wheel in relation to the wheel arch. Looks pushed forward to me, but could be the awful wheels.

It must handle 'wonderfully' on those tyres.......

It looks like he originally set out with good intentions on the car, but obviously got lost somewhere, bought a copy of Max Power, and just went too far.

Nope.

There's a fine line you don't cross when re-kitting a car, that one is as far over the line as Pedro Mendes's shot was for Spurs against Man U.

Horrible.

reminds me of that VW advert a few years back.

You can see the tears rolling out of the headlight if you look hard enough :)

Oh dear !! :oops: , i didnt think it looked too bad to be honest :oops: , ok the rear spoiler is s**te and front bumper looks hideous along with the pink bird xxxx on the doors, colour is nice and interior is quite smart and must have cost a small fortune, dont like the i.c.e, dont like the missing handles, love the rear lights, but i wouldnt do any of this on any of my MK1's if all that makes sense :? , Jinxy
