Questionable modifications: pictures inside!

Hey an SLK with a license of 666

 

[The Stig Farmer]

Saw this today. Subtlety, thou art an Iveco Daily.

Think the question is, "They make bodykits for an Iveco Daily?".

 

[Sage Ages]

The license plates say it all.

Stage 1 Roush with ugly rims.

The exhaust note on this thing was horrid.

I think that Celica is stock... oh wait.

I saw that the other day too. Well, given that you took that photo not too far from where I live - and also that there can't possibly more than one of those - I'm assuming (hoping) it's the same one..

For the sake of all that's holy, let's assume that it's the same one. Compared to a lot of the entries in this thread, it's not even like it's been done badly. It's just so bewildering.

Ladybug questionable?

Who in the right mind would do such a thing?

That Astro's currently for sale.

What on earth was that?

What on earth was that?

An Acura Integra GSR with e60 BMW 5-series parts on it. Basically a hideous thing on 4 wheels.

 

[ColinH96]

Looks fantastic. Whats wrong with it?

Looks fantastic. Whats wrong with it?

Facelift, 20" rims, spoiler on top of spoiler, and picture taken in a quarry.... no Escort goes to a quarry.

Not terrible... but not good either. I'm more surprised that the owner hired a "pro photographer" to take pics of it.
(unless the owners knows how to work a camera)

I mean, I don't like it, but it'll probably be the best this thread ever sees...

However, I see a hole in the grille which is an instant red flag (sleeper) and what seems to be the driver's name in the rear quarter window. So who knows what he has under the hood and chassis. That spoiler could be functional.

Looks better than the original... perfect size...and sierra cozzie style. Why not, it looks great and it's probably :censored:in' fast.

 

[Gotgame141]

Whats the point of this?

The rims, body kit ,the double wing and the RS badge

It has a 2.0 Zetec engine.

Mercedes has finally gone ahead with the new BLK-Class and 23-valve engine.

It's the details that ruin it. The chrome bit around the rear license plate looks naff. The wheels are both too big and in a style that doesn't suit it (some old school OZ Superturismos or Chronos would look great). I love the Cossie whale tail on an actual Cossie but it just seems wrong on anything else. And above all else, my one pet peeve on modified cars are light brows. Not only are they so strongly associated with the Max Power generation, they always give me the impression that the bonnet doesn't fit properly, they add nothing to the performance, and they look like a pathetic attempt to make the car look 'mean'. They also look cheap (because they are). Did I mention I hate them?

Apart from those things, that Escort is quite tidy.

Whilst ranting about light brows, I found this:
