Title: Poor Taste? Post by: peteracs on August 26, 2012, 08:19:25 PM Hi All
At the risk of upsetting at least one person on here (sorry if I do), but just browsing t'internet and came across this Spyder. Sorry, for me ranks along the 'pimp my car' makeovers. http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/4076608.htm (http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/4076608.htm) Peter Title: Re: Poor Taste?

Title: Re: Poor Taste? Post by: Tony B on August 27, 2012, 10:57:01 AM It rather looks like it's ram-raided Halfords. This appeared briefly on ebay a while back - not sure what's worse; the fact that people think a load of stickers afford some kind of racing pedigree or the price they want for it. I'd further agree the cills ain't great!
Sorry if I've upset anyone but please, please leave these rare machines as nature intended them to be!! :( Title: Re: Poor Taste?

There are some cars where the decals work and most do not, in general where they reproduce the original car with sponsors decals and paintwork, otherwise a big no for me. Amusing that there is no mention of its race pedigree engine/suspension/brakes spec...... Peter Title: Re: Poor Taste?

Still, makes mine look SOOOOO much better! |
