That looks like the car that parks about 50 yards from Reyland in birmingham seen it there every time i've visited


edit just looked on street view its not the same car, the one in birmingham looks better and has a cage

Rear number plate makes it look crap as well.

it looks like they've spent money of silly stuff like underbonnet bling,but missed things like the wheels and front bumper that would make it look a bit more authentic

Yeah, I thought the estate had the twr bumper as well, the real thing just looks standard, not even the "r" one which is strange

With the number of bumpers they smashed up it might have been smarter to keep the standard one.

I prefer the standard look bumpers to be honest, looks better to me the BTCC with normal looking road cars, i think it went shit when the big spoilers and stuff came in..

Think the 850 estate is my all time fave touring car, didnt like the saloon...same in real life as i used to have an 850 estate, mega cars them...oh yesh..

the wheels make a huge difference. the original make it look cheap and nasty . the photoshoped pic wheels make it look more credible.
