I missed this thread. Did you post pictures?
No but keep an eye on the "parts for sale" section in the near future for some stunning bargains.

Well most of us keep a turd in our glove boxes, just happens to be made of white plastic and have vague physical similarities to a torch. I'm sure that a real turd will leap off the shelves :P

How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.

Absolutely true. On the other hand if you ask for an opinion, be prepared for the worst.

Also true.

I'm not the biggest fan of the custom stuff but in the guys defence he's actually done a very neat job of it!

Majority of regulars on here get on their high horse about "eyebrows" so stevie doesn't stand a chance to be honest.

Where do you begin! From the council spec spray job on the bonnet to the "f*uck I can't see the road for my 2 foot long motorsport innit sunstrip" to the triangles...

It's all well and good saying it's his car let him do what he wants to it, but at the end of the day, not only does it look terrible but the quality of work is clearly shocking.

Sarcasm at its worst here... :mad:

I think the majority of people on here wont be fans of it mate as its a bit too different.

I'm not feeling it myself but I try to keep everything original.

I don't think it's because it's different that people won't like, it's more the method, it looks like the holes have been cut with a bread knife. Personally I couldn't care less what people do to their own car, but if you post a pic of something with badly executed mods such as the one in this thread then you should expect to get some negative comments, you should be able to voice your opinion good or bad, within reason.
