Just cleaning the engine bay up would be a start, it's filthy.
I'm open minded when it comes to modding but this one truly deserves the "badly modded" status.

The thing is with this stuff is that, yes it looks hideous and the guy has obviously never heard of the phrase "less is more"
And obviously the money would have been better spent on mechanical mods
But hey, takes all sorts and life would be pretty dull if we all kept thing standard and didn't tinker
My only issue comes when they totally overprice the car (which tbf they usually do) thinking someone else should pay them for their "tinkering"

God that is hideous, looks like he spent a small fortune on it too, all in the wrongest of wrong places.
My gripe is with the body shop that would do that to a car and still sleep at night, mind you judging by the orange peel on the rear spoiler I think they were probably grateful to have a visually challenged customer with more money than taste.
Where in this universe doing something like that to a nice looking car seems like a good idea I don't know, obviously watched too many sci-fi movies / batman type stuff.
Fair play to whoever it belongs to, at least he dared to be different not to my taste but as above, it takes all sorts.
I bet he thought he was 'the man' driving around and having people stare at it and was like a proud father.
maybe someone pointed and started laughing so he's put it up for sale.

All hail the return of the "WR STi"
Yeah this "in yer face" turd has been slopping about for a while now. Unfortunately this is what happens to these cars when the price comes down enough and we all get tarred with the chav brush because of it.
It's better than the finish Stevie Wonder did on Dave Wong's STi.

And Scoobyclinic aren't cheap either
Both garages (with good reputations too) were quite proud to show these off.
Maybe we're the wrong 'uns for thinking that these cars are for enthusiasts and shouldn't end up covered in "attitude" parts such as those horrid bumpers and oversized scoops. I can't recall another make of car aside many models in the supermini classes that attracts so much chavitude.

Actually, scrap that thought - this Crossroads Cosworth abomination wasn't cheap

But Crossroads always seem to try and make a special edition subaru and then overprice it, and make it look **** at the same time. Would hate to give Crossroads a blank cheque and ask them to make my car look good!!!

At least it's still on the road and can be sorted. More than can be said for the perfectly good cars the many breakers are taking apart at the moment...
