Without wanting to state the glaringly obvious it looks like a fire but yeah fook knows how it started without seein more of the car. Do you know whether it was just the back damaged as shown or whther the whole car has been burnt?

Shame really, as although its not something I would do to my own car it was very well done

That is sooooooooooooooo an insurance job.

Apparently the install was a proffessional" job by a reputable company and there was no way they would get back the money they put into it by selling it

Supposedly it was caused by an electrical fault whilst being trailered from Max Power Live.

I've also heard it WASN'T insured at all. Not even fire and theft!!!

A few pictures prior to the electrical fault.







On their website they're saying they're going to restore it.

No after pictures yet though.

Wouldn't want that to happen to anyone's pride and joy.
