a good friend of mine Squint (rear engined RST and twin engine RST) created this over 6months and after sales took off superbly sold the company he created for £15k plus a cut of 5% on all future sales.

Very nice bit of business.

p.s the underbonnet speaker is actually a Infinity 4" mid range item

I noticed a Datsun sunny once on the M1 with a full body kit, but they had fitted a boot spoiler the wrong way round to the front of the bonnet and at 70mph the wind pressure was trying to rip the bonnet open.

Yes was 2002

The shell did the rounds then ended back up in Ipswich strangely! It's currently in a lock-up covered in dust...

Squint is a married man now and doesn't get out much... Currently see his X-Factor updates every Sat on the book so he leads an exciting life

I saw it yesterday for me. Chap driving through Hitchin in a Honda Accord Type R (or at least that's what was on the badges). It was lowered so much the lip of the bumper was at most 100mm from the road, it had been give loads of camber and the tyres were stretched on wide rims that came out from the arches. Coupe of kids described it as being "Well phat!" I nearly fell off my bike laughing so much

Why take a car that's quite nice to fuck it right up???

Best one I've seen was a 10 plate Vauxhall Agila..."type R" - motorsport, turbo, 16v, v6...stick on side repeaters on the wing mirrors, those chrome spoilers on the window wipers, VXR mudflaps and rally style light pods on the bonnet!lol every time I seen it parked up...oh and don't forget the RMS quad exit exhaust.

I would have a picture but the guy got it seized by the finance company for not paying for it!

That mk1 Orion ghia in light metallic red with the half Orion trailer/caravan that goes to ford fair
Anything vw that is 'scene'
Merc 190 with a 90 spec spoiler on the boot
Mk2 xr2 with upside down fiesta rst bonnet vents
Any Saxo or 106 but also the best mod I have ever seen was yesterday on a Saxo vtr,bonnet catch let go at 60 and the bonnet wiped the roof and windscreen out so the broken bonnet catch was a good mod as it wrote off another Saxo

Nope, not all bodykits look bad - just the bad ones and badly fitted ones. Some bodykits can be quite tasteful and fitted well enough to look good - but some are fucking gash and the cars aren't even worth being bonfire fuel...

My eyes hurt,vw guys are a bit sensitive aren't they,they do build some beautifully prepared cars then ruin them with overstretched tyres and ridiculous camber.

bodykits can look ok imo all depends on the type, subtle ones can look half decent altho those 'delta' kits were just gross! nothing looks more silly than a big wide arched bodykitted car thats still got the little small wheels on!

also seen a mini at one of the shows this year that had a roll cage made from 4omm plastic waste pipe and fittings!!
