Post by: Komenda on 10 March 2008, 17:26: The rear bumper is spot on, but the rest of the bodykit is :sick: With more subtle side skirts, front bumper and a nice set of wheels it would look ok.

Post by: Diamond Hell on 10 March 2008, 20:19: Why hasn't anyone mentioned the biggest crime in the picture?

Why isn't anyone talking about the tri-spoke wheels?

Last seen on a Fiesta RS Turbo - so wrong there and this ain't helping the cause.

They need taking off and melting, so they can do no more harm to our eyes.

Post by: Dinky on 10 March 2008, 20:22: I think about four people before you did mention them.. :undecided:

Post by: BobbyT on 10 March 2008, 20:25: looks like a Reiger kit, not bad i guess :undecided:
Title: Re: I LOVE THIS CAR, AM I ALONE IN THAT THOUGHT???
Post by: Neaty on 10 March 2008, 20:28: hmm, hard to decide because them wheels are utter wank and it spoils it and takes all the attention away from the rest of the car.
I like the rear and the arches look cool but am not sure on the front with the mesh sh!te

Post by: dubsport on 10 March 2008, 20:34: is it a mk3 front bumper? the indicators look the same etc
Title: Re: I LOVE THIS CAR, AM I ALONE IN THAT THOUGHT???
Post by: volkston on 10 March 2008, 21:32: is there anyone smart enough to show a pic with a proper set of wheels on that car, i reckon a few of the doubters would be converted.

mixed bag so far with a fair mix of you sayin its sh!te and the rest siding with the like it brigade

i know i am right its the nuts :wink:

Post by: DarnPB on 10 March 2008, 21:34: I have had a car like this, an Audi 90 2.2 and it was lovely. I do not like that body kit at all. But with the right wheels, and a little imagination in the lowering department and possibly a very subtle boot spoiler, it would look very nice. And de-chrome it.
Ditch the wheels and the body kit and start a small project. :smiley:
Title: Re: I LOVE THIS CAR, AM I ALONE IN THAT THOUGHT???
Post by: volkston on 10 March 2008, 21:40: i had a 2.3 quattro it was fabulous, but this thing has got the 2.2 turbo out of the old style s6 so it should go like stink!! Reckon it could show a few modern so called performance cars the way to go!!
Title: Re: I LOVE THIS CAR, AM I ALONE IN THAT THOUGHT???
Post by: Thom89 on 11 March 2008, 00:42: Car is a turd! I would gladly pay to get shot of it, Let alone pay over 2K for it! Its not even "Retro cool" looking like that!
You should be able to pick up a low miles 90 for around Ã‚£500... but why bother
Just my opinion....

Post by: kittie on 11 March 2008, 10:38: Could be super hot with some adjustments to the kit (a hammer possibly), different wheels, loose the mongy steering wheel etc etc etc. All in all not worth the money.

Love retro (and modern!!) Audis myself, they are cool :grin:

Those three spokes should be against the law... maybe even banned from FRSTs!

Post by: Agreeable Slick on 11 March 2008, 11:51: My mate just saw that car. What happened next was not enjoyable.

Post by: volkston on 14 March 2008, 21:33: thats that then. bottom line with the pole is it definatly split opinion, i still love it mind but i get why some of you dont. Thanks for posting mind even if you hated it, one things for sure though, i still think i am right and my mate still thinks he is right as the poll was so close.
