I cant believe someone with a corsa has had it 'modified' so that it now looks like a ford ka concept - and I use the term 'concept' very loosely!!!!!!

 

I particularly like the attempt at the EVO bonnet which wasn't really clear in my first pics

 

LMAO!!!

Its got to be a 1.2 with a huge exhaust fitted...
Please keep the progress updates.

LOL

 

Thats truely awful, and the Supra Veilside style spoiler on the roof - WTF?!?!?!

I'd have that Ren 5 though

 

It's been painted..

Would anyone else have chosen that colour?

 

It looks even worse now that spoiler is shocking

 

Buzz...you seem pretty pally with the bodyshop owner - ask him how much that lot has cost.

Why do people b@stardise cars like this - have they no ******* shame at all?

Are there women out there that actually respond to this kind of thing? , I assume thats the main reason behind "wayne's" masterpeice ( corsarossa evo 9 ).

 

I am told it's coming back again later today, I'll try to get some of the front

It's got a horribly loud exhaust, and the bloke couldn't help but sit there revving it when he arrived and wheel spinning it away when he left

 

My God

The paint hasn't even covered, you can see through it! and they've filled over the door handles, durh

 

The upgrade wheels set it off a treat

 

the paint shop even color coded the tyres for him ! Wow !

 

is it me or does the paint look all patchy?.... on th other hand I suppose that is the least of his worries!

 

What a piece of **** That looks like such a bad job

Picture was taken through the window, so don't pre-judge the paintwork yet

I've just had the bodyshop owner over here, I've been sendin a fax for him... the car has just returned - once the chap clears off I'm going over twith the camera

And as for the cost... it was delivered to the bodyshop with all the bits attached. All the chap has paid to have done is the filling, sanding and painting.

Anyone care to guess how much he's charged for it?

OK, off to get some pics

 

Can't wait

 

your wait is over...









The guy fitted all the body bits himelf, he's only asked the body shop to fill and paint it... and thats cost him £600..

So far the car stands him at £6000, including purchase.

And where are the doorhandles? It's electronic keyless opening apparently... but there's no drivers side window in yet anyway

 

my guess on the cost...

650 Kgs of filler = £800
300 hrs of labour @ say £25 per hour = £7500
3 Hectares of sandpaper in various grades = £1700
2 tins of green spray paint from Halfords = £5

Total cost of job= £10,005.

Actual value of car = £250 ( this assumes a current MOT certificate.

 

LMFAO

 

That is truely hideous!

 

you mean he wasnt paid to have it done ??

 

ROFL

Sometimes something is so ugly it becomes beautiful in a twisted way ...

 

you might want to edit the pics so the body shop can not be associated with the job....or is it a warning to others ?

 

I came

 

To be fair, the bodyshop did not choose the kit - they just did the work asked of them. How they held the paint straight while laughing is anyone's guess. Maybe that's why the wheels have been "upgraded" too.


It's definitely different. On the plus side - people all over this country know about it already (ScoobyNet & probably his friends / bbs as well), it's unique, it's never going to get stolen...uhm...it's very...yellow...ish..... LOL.

 

While this lacks the mechanical poetry of a Lambo Muira SV or a Porsche Carrera GT, there is a certain gritty industrial beauty to those muscular haunches, the snarling bonnet vents and moody lowered stance.

I'll get my coat....

 

come on give the guy some credit

it takes really big ***** to drive something like that

 

to be fair, apart from the hideous spoiler & ghasly paint job, it isn't a bad effort, especially when viewed from the front.....

...now if there was a twin turbo V6 in the back and 4WD, it would be some piece of work...

..but as it's probably destined to spend the rest of its days as a 1.2L FWD shopping trolley, its a bag o' ****.

the bodykit on that car is a bit like pitting socks in your underpants

 

******* hideous

 

Group buy on that kit!

 

PMSL at that, OMG what the **** was he thinking of
Someone needs to send that to TOPGEAR so everyone can took the pi$$ outta of.
