it must be quick though cos they have had to add extra vents on the wings, that should be worth 20bhp?

To be fair though it looks like it could be rescued and tidied up easily enough. Changing to clear indicators and repeaters then removing the stick on shit and swapping all th einterior blue shit would make the world of difference

If I had the cash, I would buy it just so I could save it and make it a real car again!

Someone loves their sticky bits rs turbo badge on the cam cover, 16 valve badge inside, stick on M3 grills on the wings, sport badge on the engine, ford badge on the engine, silver trim around the lights! etc Peel that shit off and you have a reasonable car underneath
