Steering wheels that are not a complete circle are illegal, are they not? Not that any other part of it should be legal

Shame really, genuine Evo's are cracking cars.

Yea, I only found it because I was seeing if there were any decent evo's for sale!

I don't know if the steering wheel is legal or not.... it should be well illegal given that you will certainly die from looking at it let alone head butting it when you crash the thing... which obviously you would want to do.

The rear wing made me laugh a lot too.

Does the laptop tell him if here's a malfunction with the intake when a floor panel falls out?

Luckily its a tough book so when it flys off and smashes him in the face it will at least hurt.

It's a completely different mot for show cars, that's how they can have blue headlights and those plastic metallic checker plate floor mats, I think it's wickid, innit

True, I'm still going to mock it though as its a shocking thing to do to a great car.

I remember seeing that at a show in silverstone a few years ago and having a good laugh at it. It was on ebay shortly after as well using the same pictures it is now.

So I wonder how it actually looks now.

Edit: Got curious as to how long ago it I was I saw it. Barryboys delivered.

Good thing it he isn't running nitrous! Last thing you want is to blow the welds on the intake manifold!

I see the front wings aren't even wide, they look like standard wings that have been unbolted and spaced out to fook at the bottom. Chicken wire vents just finish it off!

Seen this pile of cack on barryboys a while back, usually I don't mind what Barry does to his crappy little shopping car but I've always had a soft spot for the e36 emmfree (used to have an estoril blue convertible) so this was particularly upsetting to my eyes.

I know we recently said everyone should be able to customise their cars to how they want it but come on !!, this is beyond bad taste!!! It is the worst example yet of how to ruin what is a good car. Wonder how long the front spoilers will last going over speed bumps?
