Found this


"
I used to work at a Well Known Custom VW shop in the Late Nineties that were involved in a few of the Max Power Projects... We re-painted the Corrado before it was given away, it looked like a load of Seventeen year olds had been ragging it across fields, the Kit was hanging off, the Stereo was broken, the air brushing in the back was all damaged, it looked like they had been carrying stuff about that wasn't secure... They were out of money and Couldnt afford a new Candy paint job so it got an Orange Mica instead, and looked better for it!! Then we did the Magenta Escort... That thing had the best of everything, Ford Motorsport 4x4 Rs2000 shell with no sunroof, WRC Rollcage, Steel Cosworth front wings and rear Quarters, special suspension mods to push the Front Wheels forward because of the increased wheelbase of a cosworth, Group N spec engine, One off Bodykit..... The Rear spoiler was a proper WRC Cosworth one, the first one was cut up to fit but we mucked it up... No problem just get another, right? They wern't smiling though, at a Grand a piece... If I remember right It cost somthing crazy like 80 Grand to build and we had to paint it Porsche Puce red (Pink!!!) with a Lime Green Roll Cage. It came back again before the Motorshow at Earls Court for a few bits, but again it needed a Full Re-spray Needless to say it was their last big project... "

the 80s makes me borderline ill

un-necissary wide body kits, fibreglass tat stuck everywhere is the scurge of modifying

front wheel drive cars with the rear stuck out a foot, meh maybe its just me but I much prefer the subtle, clean and well thought out modified dubs of now
