Modified Cars - The Good , Bad & Ugly ..

Post by Pymmie »

Thought it would be a good idea to have a visual record

of all non standard cars and what’s been done to them.

I’m not going to comment , here’s a few that I have recorded

in my phones memory ...

Which ones have you snapped ?

I thought the 3rd picture (The Interceceptor Restyled Rear End V2) was just a photochop?


I hope that wasn’t done to an actual car!

Never seen it around in the UK. Side pipes and side exit truck exhausts ???

Not to my taste, although I had the Centerline 500 style wheels on my old Camaro

“Shabby chic is a style of interior design where furniture and furnishings are either chosen for their appearance of age and signs of wear and tear or where new items are distressed to achieve the appearance of an antique.”

Thanks David, Kees posted them being sold on eBay, got lucky and bought them for £99. I paid more for the new tyres.
