I think I know the 'look' they were trying to achieve.

Yesterday was sitting on a wall (as you do) waiting for a lift actually :)

I was passed by a Porsche Cayenne. To my surprise the trim around the windows etc. was all chrome. I started looking at a lot of new cars and realised they were the same. So there you have it - the foil is there as it's a bit of a trend on new cars at the moment (apparently) to have a silver/chrome trim....

oh the shame...

Well am sure if I saw it once in edinburgh then either me or some other IMOC member will see it around the city again sometime. Its pretty hard 2 miss :? anyway, when we do I think we should all agree to run it off the road and put the poor things out of its missary, (owner and car) also once its smashed up with the owner unable to do anything maybe I could snatch some of the good bits off it like those furry eyelashes :wink: :mrgreen:

At least underneath all the crap there's still pure metal, rather than the usual Mk1 mod: 'covering up the rust and filler'. :wink:

This can only be described as the end result of some poor sap collecting all the old Max power magazine "How to mod your car on the cheap" cards and using his limited Blue Peter DIY skills to "Pimp his Ride" on one one weeks Job Seekers Allowance.

If only he had stopped to think before grabbing the roll of turkey size tin foil he would not be wanted for crimes against decent Mods..

Its people like this that give even the "burbery" (sorry dont know how to spell it as I dont own any) wearing Boy racers a bad name!!!!

Oh man... that is one of the funniest things I've ever seen! :lol: I'm almost crying with laughter reading this thread!

The only way it could have been worse is if they had a picture of Mr T on there instead of some gangster rapper.

Actually... come to think of it... that would have made it better.

That's got to find it's way onto one of those anti-chav car-slagging off sites... anyone know a good one to post it to? :wink:

Absolutely awful taste of mods. I'd be very worried if the owner of that was a man :-k !

Oh hell...just everyone admit it - you're all JEALOUS! :D

Prediction: JAE2006's top cars will have cars with 'gangstas' and general profanity on their doors. Maybe.
Mk2 NA Rev1 -*- Mk2 Turbo Rev2 -*- Mk1 NA -*- Mk2 Turbo Rev 3 = all gone!
