Questionable modifications: pictures inside!

[buickgnx88]

And one company has gone so far as having a very similar grille. Here's looking at you Pontiac!

 

[the Interceptor]

Just this morning I was as unfortunate to witness quite a piece of a questionable modification - which I can't offer you a picture of, since the driver was still around when I left.

It was a silver E39 BMW 5 series, which obviously had been "M"-ified. Being an anorak, I of course immediately spotted that it wasn't a true M5. Although the owner had fitted (too small and fake) M rims, huge spoilers all round and the typical M-gills in the fenders that are found on current M models (but not the E39 M5), I wasn't fooled. Maybe it also was because the car emitted the typical rattle of a small diesel engine - I'd say it was a 520d.

Obviously, I had to sit in my car and wait a few moments to see who gets out of that thing. To my surprise, it was a middle-aged turkish woman with a headscarf. No offense to the turkish there, but I suppose she wasn't the one who tricked this baby out.

In the same boat about the owner myself; I've seen two Mk3 Golfs today with chrome M3 mirrors, angel eyes and whatnot, both driven by middle-aged women..

 

[Jim Prower]

Are middle-aged-women having Fast and Furious Midlife Crises....

Or are they just keeping the cars away from their idiot sons? >:3

 

[Beerz]

Nice...

 

[Glanza-V]

I like that

 

[Flerbizky]

I like that

Kinda weird, but certainly not your average QM...

I think I sorta might like in a weird kinda way - But I do have a soft spot for Mk.I and Mk.II Golfs....

I think, if the owner had kept the headlights behind the grille, it might have been a winner....

 

[Beerz]

No room, because he's got those "things" right behind it.

I like that

 

[Sureboss]

Are those PIR lights? Probably are still got the sensor on the car.

Maybe if the owner had the grille fold out the way, old school Charger style. Not too keen on the popup lights on a car not designed for them (and as a child of the 80s I love popup headlights).

 

[Beerz]

^^ My thoughts exactly, even down to the 80's part. 👍

 

[Turbo Lag]

The wheels.
Though the 300 grill is no less silly.

Late to the scene but those are not Lambo rims, they're infact BMW X5 rims.

It's painted the wrong color. It obviously needs to be white and say "Fujiwara Tofu" on the door.

There isn't a single piece of that Jeep that isn't offensive. That takes talent.

I like the screws. They look pretty good.

 

[bergauk]

Don't forget the headlights, they're not offensive.

 

[MCubed]

The doors are kinda cool...

Don't say that to CJ-5 lovers.

 

[buickgnx88]

Haha you should see the tension in the Jeep Forum I'm at. CJ owners, TJ owners, JK owners (well mostly TJ owners) making fun of the square lights on the YJ's. Of course I don't care, I actually like the square light look!

 

[MCubed]

What really scares me is, I don't think it's that bad

 

[Perfect Balance]

The front looks really bad, but that almost looks cool.

 

[Philly]

Any ideas what that was?

 

[MCubed]

+rep to the first person to guess it... It's kinda obvious...

 

[Tornado]

Espada.

 

[Philly]

I refuse to believe that any Lamborghini owner would do that to their car.

 

[MCubed]

Inivisble +rep!

Someone will have to die for that. 👎

-> Got this from our folks at Jalopnik:

Chinese Lamborghini Mucielago Built From Nissan 300ZX

Some joker in China thought it would be fun to build a Verde Ithaca Lamborghini Murcielago out of a paltry donor-Nissan 300ZX. Dude, you really are doing it wrong.

When we showed you the Nissan 300ZX donates its headlights to the Lamborghini Diablo 6.0, we didn't mean that it should donate its naughty parts to do the full deed. We're embarrassed to say that we kind of like this abomination, but in sort of a cognitive illusion kind of way and that's not going to fly for too long.When we showed you the Nissan 300ZX donates its headlights to the Lamborghini Diablo 6.0, we didn't mean that it should donate its naughty parts to do the full deed.

^ For the same amount of money of building this monstrocity; he/she should have either mod the Z in a more tasteful/vicious manner. Or he/she could have bought the 370Z. I bet its a major pain parking it backwards.
