Title: Awful Awful crime against Motoring!
Post by: RandomJord on 07 August 2012, 20:32
Seriously..... why actually do this??

That's just down the road from me.
I might do the world a favour and take a trip over there tonight and torch the car.

surely for the money he spent on modifying that thing he would have been better off buying one using a loan and then selling it a few years later.. his monthly repayments would have been less than he spent

for the price of a new GTI with some extras you can get a lambo? Even with a bright red interior?

There are some shocking ones about!
The best one I've ever seen was on Road Wars (lol) a bloke got pulled over in a Murcielago (sp) replica and it looked the dogs dangleys!

The murchi don't look to bad but I am viewing on a phone. Usually interiors on the replica's look really piss poor compared to the real deal, with a few exceptions. Most people can't get the bat wings to work, huge spacers required on the back as well. Then if they follow through they usually drop a small v6 or the audi 4.2 v8 into the mr2. Seems like he is selling it for what it has cost him, as a full kit and fitting onto a mr2 plus paint is around 18k, thats not including the car or interior.

I cant believe im saying this but it looks cool looking at those pics apart from the steering wheel.
But £25k for a MR2 I wouldnt care if it had a batmobile bodykit I still wouldnt pay that much for it.

It looks goodish but it must sound awful and disappointing when people actually hear it.

I can see it now on all sort of forums " I seen a Lambo on the m4,m5 and he couldnt keep up" lmao "He did put his foot down honest"

Look better than most kit cars tbh. I would drive it but not for the price tag.

There an MR2 in a workshop close to my workplace.

It has an F355 ferrari bodykit, and theyre trying to fit a toyota camry V6 lump into it... c/w auto box...  :grin:

It looks completely guff!

Is the interior on the real thing genuinely that awful!  :sick:

Post by: chrisbeg34 on 09 August 2012, 20:01
That is just awful, and to be honest would not get a car from there even if they paid me to take it. I went in there before I got my golf. they tried to sell me a mk5 escort for £500 with no tax or mot, rust all round he back of the arches and the ignition barrell was taken out??? lol all wires everywhere.

most of the cars down there are all the same
