That looks ******* ****

But... each to their own

Credit to whoever made it in terms of having the imagination and skill to do that. To all the detracters....wernt you young once? It may not be to your taste now, but I bet a few years ( or decades ago) it would have appealed.....dare to be different as they say!

I'm young too and that car is absolutley ****. Whoever did it should be shot!

The before pic makes me laugh! them huge wheels on the back and behind them is some tiny ickle rusty drum brakes!!!

Everyone knows the ONLY reason to fit bigger wheels is so you can fit bigger brakes!

Imagination ? skill ? bodging together a fibreglass bodykit onto a hatchback using tonnes of filler requires neither of those ! Fair enough they've taken it a bit further than the usual but its still someone being a sheep and following the pictures on magazines so they can fit in (every copy of max power has a car that looks like this on the front doesn't it ?!?)

Real skill and imagination comes from the guys who innovate and do somthing new and unusual and to a good standard ... I know its not the same but John Beardmoore is an ideal example of somone applying skill and imagination to a project and I'm sure there are some maxed up motors that could also fit into this catagory.

I beg to differ, I don't see how you can say that no imagination has been applied to the build of that car, purely because the end product offends your sensibilities

I do have to agree that, yes the end product is f**king hideous, and he probably could have bought a nice motor for what he's spent on it

But on the other hand, who's the sheep?

The guy whose corsa looks like no other car on the planet?

Or, the guy whose rally blue impreza with gold wheels looks like every other f**king rally blue imreza with gold wheels?

how can buying a body kit and fitting it involve imagination ? even if it is custom made as I said above every copy of lax power and other such soft **** mags have at least one car that looks very similar within the millions of insurance adverts and naked ladies

No it's not to my taste but as I said above there are some unique max power styled cars out there that have had imagination and thought put into them not just gone with the crowd.
