Ignore the bonnet...

I will no go into detail how wrong you are.

If you can afford to buy a small hatch, and then mod it to make it heavier, slower and uglier, then you can DEFINATELY aford a decent car.

Or, the small hatch was purchased dead cheap what with the engine alreadly Majorly fubar, and as such the cheapest replacement was sought.

The chop shop to the suspension and spray paint do not seem like costly modifications, correct me if im wrong.

So how much then, would this all cost, do you recon?

I dont question half these car mods.. hell 99% of the ones you post i love... But swapping a decent 1.6 Petrol Engine for a Diesel? Huh?

You have obviously never experienced the sheer, unrelenting fury of a mapped diesel unleashed on our public roads.

Actually I'm not sure. There is something to be said for having a play with a petrol and claiming you can actually see the astonishment on the drivers face when he registers the TDi/ d / badge that is pulling rapid furlongs on him.

I always imagine these beaten petrol drivers to have really large facial features, accentuated with clown make-up. Just to clarify the terrible shock.

As far as the OP, it's different, a little odd and strange props for the shoot. This is good, allows some of us to admire, others to mock.

Alloys from another era by the looks of it, so I don't know how much they cost, but they're not Volks, put it that way

And an angle grinder to the springs, cheap as chips.

It's on hydraulics (or could be airbags) isn't it? Otherwise it would constantly scrape the ground judging by the pics (side skirt & exhaust are near enough grounded). They are certainly not cheap anyway.

Penski, that I am afraid is one of the worst 106 I have ever saw and I have saw some really crap 106's.

Why ruin the awesome lift off handling and the revvie engine to look like that?

Waste of money.

 

[DrDee]

Waste of money.

First of all, it depends on if it was done out of choice or not, if it was done out of choice, well then each to there own, some people are into the car's in some weird and wonderful ways.

How can it not be out of choice?

I don't get the camo or the bonnet.. VERY LAME!!!!!

Although the fact that it's on pimp juice and someone decided to put a diesel engine in makes me giggle

 

[RoboCod]

Wow, I've got to get me one of those cam nets for mine!

 

[benneh]

Is there a reason why he has failed to notify the DVLA of the engine transplant?

I do think it looks like crap, on account of the bonnet. I can see why someone might go for derv too , there must be some kind of straight drop + boost wound up = ubertorks deal.

 

[Scania]

Old BM's, Yes!

Old VW's, Yes!

old Frog's?

Naah.

 

[strapped]

that is pretty nice, compared to most 106's anyway

 

[antijoke]

fugly.

 

[DreXeL]

Personally I think it looks great. But a diseasal lump? :/

 

[Lummox]

Nasty little object.

 

[Malt_Vinegar]

I can barely see it in the photos anyway!?

Although, thats probably a good thing.

 

[Le_Petit_Lapin]

Love the camo net, after all you never know when you'll have to hide your car from a sudden airstrike.

 

[strapped]

Why would you even check that?

*n

x2

Seriously though? Why would you check that?

I R INTERNET POLIZIE MIT CONNEXION 2 DVLA

 

[Durzel]

I think its supposed to be cool in an Ironic way... maybe?

It's cool in a "if you don't get it you obviously don't understand" way I guess. Call me old fashioned but I like my cars having one colour of paint and able to drive over stones in the road without bottoming out.
