:?:lol:

I actually like this. Fronts awesome! Looks like a mini muscle car 8-) Its far better than just removing the bumper, which almost always looks terrible IMO. Back is wrong though. I wouldnt have smoothed it quite so much. Needs chrome corner bumpers front and rear, and the rear plate recess higher, and tail lights from a 60's mustang, and itll be cool :-)

Black saloon has a lot of potential. I agree with the its needs chrome bumpers statement. Would finish it off a treat.

^am I not the only one who's first thought was 'corvette' when they saw that rear end?

I thought OLD skyline. like the one at the beginning of Fast 5.

this is still about, well it was last show season

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

this is awesome in the flesh, if youve not seen it please dont bitch about it as i have a soft spot for this and its pretty much one of the best mk3 around i think.

has the same bumper, bonnet and front wings as the orang one, its strange how the same style parts can be used for completely different styles!

I have seen it in the flesh and I thought it was a piece of shit, this was before he chopped the roof off but I can't imagine a bodged pickup conversion would make me think it was any less shit. His two face scirocco on the other hand was a pretty cool concept pulled off well, this mk3 just blends in with all the other tat covered rusted shit that's knocking about

I thought it was a KPGC10?

I like the orange one, just needs a few bits and bobs sorting

I dunno, maybe I'm getting old, but the orange one just reminds me of the awful bodykitted horrors that'd be knocking around at shows ten years ago. Round bumpers on a square car, excessively smoothed back ends and those nasty generic rear lamps... just doesn't do it for me. Never did either.

But it is done to a decent standard, by the look of it.

Yeah, pretty much what I was going to say.

I 'get' it - fine, it's the anti show car. But it really doesn't interest me.

I'm fairly open minded about the cars I like, or at least appreciate. And the common factor is that, lairy or subtle, they need to look coherent in concept and properly built. By which I don't mean thousands of pounds worth of wheels and interior trimming, just some attempt to make it hang together. To me, this looks like a lot of different ideas all crammed into one to be as in your face as possible. Does the trick at shows - pulls crowds - but so does taking a Saxo, painting it Dyno Rod orange, fitting 19s and having eight five-inch exhausts.

For me though, what's ruined this car is the 'fuck you' attitude that seems to come with it. Like I'm not allowed to dislike it because I'm a scene sheep with my shiny car. I've never met the owner, and I gather he's really sound, but he's got an aggressive fanbase determined to ram it down my throat just how individual the car is. Give it a rest, I don't care.

Absolute truth :thumbsup:

Iv seen it in the flesh and tbh i dont like it - but i like what hes done with the whole over the top aspect, and the way it actually has got some original ideas and not just matte paint :lol:

I think if it was just matt black it would look cool, more of a madmax theme rather than super "rat look".

Oh wait.... another thread about That mk3 :lol:
