This is in danger of turning into a another Barryboys thread!
So lets jump in with two feet then...
A local car that sticks in my mind is a Fiat Coupe painted in two tone silver over Gunmetal with huge body kit, fake vents, intakes & large Decepticon logos on the doors. The whole thing has been done to a good standard though, as if it may have been on one of those Pimp my wheelbarrow shows.

I was up in Orchney the other week playing rugby, and on the way back to the port there was an old Pug 106, red, with a black bonnet, and a spoiler that looked like it had come off a 1970's formula one car! It had an exhaust the size of football on the end! Im sure the guy was havin taking the .... out of himself!

Even Porsches are not immune from numpty's. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...39#description

Scroll down for the pics. I particularly like the cross head screws holding the body kit on and what's with the steering wheel The Stroesk rear hatch come spoiler thing was never popular, I wonder why

Thought I'd ressurect this thread with a capri I saw at a show this weekend. Mad but I think it was getting the most reaction from everyone.

I am not a fan of Barry Boys and I am sure everyone has heard of them, I think some of the cars on there have been done well, but they rip everything a new arse with the slightest modification.

But some of the cars on there are truly rubbish, and what on earth was the owner thinking

The Metro above is a classic example and I think the wheels is the least of its problem, what the hell is going to do with the extra 2 doors

Yup - we are not Barry boys! We give constructive criticism where invited and I wouldn't want to start a section where we just take the rise out of someones hard work.

The metro is a good example, it is clearly a work in progress and when finished could look a bit like a 6R4 replica. BUT - as has been pointed out it is a 4 door model and this just wont look right when finished.

I see lots of sheds down my way but I don't really want to waste time on them! I'd rather see proper cars that have been nicely done TBH.

Thought about fitting a Dimma kit to my 306 but it is a 4 door though, but the dimentions are the same as a 3 door so it wouldn't be impossible to fit, I would just have to make it so the rear doors could still open,

problem is though, I wouldn't know how to widen the rear track, big spacers aren't really an option

You could probably fit a rear subframe from a 406? Bodge but it might work? Do both use a Torsion beam setup?
