I can appreciate the work thats gone into it, but it looks awful.

That dash and steering wheel must have cost an absolute fortune to airbrush like that.

That looks god fucking awful!

The actual artwork does look very well done but it doesn't suit that car at all!

Got it spot on with the wheels though!

I remember seeing that on show when I first went to Trax (I think it was) in 1999? Was in the inside bit.... Thought it was impressive, but not my thing, and a waste of a good cossy really....

I remember there also being a silver 3dr Cossy looking car, but with proper tubbed out rear end and massive Hoosier slicks - and a stonking great blown V8 in the front Dragster!!!!!!

It was almost 10 years ago... I was gonna say give the guy a break, but no it did look gash even then

I may be wrong but i'm sure he had a focus (could have been a T190) and it had a TV under the bonnet for some unknown reason, if he wasn't the owner it was a mate of his, cuz they used to park together...

The WRC one looks ok on the outside as far as being a WRC inspired rep goes.
With regards to the Taz one, Jewel Violet is a nice colour.
There. That is all i have to say. All good!
