90's modifying scene, what were we thinking????



  Turbo 182 Alfa 159
A local guy spent about 20k on a 106 gti.

A lad like that round our with an Impreza not too long ago. Said to of put more than 100k into it. Had a £50 note lacquered into the back bumper with its only money across it.

Yeah. Who thinks that looks good?! I'd have hated that as much back then as I do now.

Wow.... that front bumpers one of the ugliest yet! Those mirrors [emoji15]
The paint blends superbly done though. Ha ha.

I still like dimma kits on a lot of the cars though! Rally style!


Pictures of aforementioned £50 required. Lol at 100k on a road going impreza.

Best bit is the number plate is wonky [emoji23]

Damn!!! No way!!! 🙈

I reading the for sale ad on the max power site, over 30k spent
 
God. The exhausts!
I f**king despise those daft moulded boot installs.

His modded car was always going to be a horror with a name like Absy!


Now n then I just eBay search "modified" I'm the cars section and laugh at some of the horrors still floating around.
Barry boys is good fun too.
 
Just realised searching "show car" in eBay works very well. Seems even a 2004 clio couldn't escape abuse. Was probably modified a few years after being made too. Worrying.
The descriptions on these kind of cars are often as entertaining as the pictures. I like the 106s "balked Windows "!!
Good example of a newish car ruined with the fiesta....

The Astra is a beauty!

How would those speakers in the 106 doors not break your leg when you close the door!

  Too many
Not quite 90's, this was early in the year 2000 and as close to Max Power as I ever got. Thankfully my taste improved after this car (well I like to think so)
17" wheels, colour coded bumpers and door handles, noisy stainless exhaust, lexus lights, lowered 30mm and 3 cylinder, 1.0 12v power! ha ha ha ha

I was wondering if the price is say, £30k spent, does that include the cost of the car too ? There's no way that stuff would add up to £30k (for example) unless the bodyshop saw them coming!

Absolute LOL at that Astra.

COST OVER £20,000 TO GET TO THIS SPEC !

You could have bought any number of decent cars for that money. M3, Focus RS, Megane 250, etc etc. Instead you have emptied a night club's worth of speakers and amps into the back of an Astra. Top work.
 
There was an Orange impreza local to me looked exactly like the one above, the plate was something like CU 53 LTR, Me and Jay-S came across it a couple of times in our hybrids and destroyed it.

Fools and their money and all that. If he had a brain cell he could have had one of the quickest scoobies going with that sort of cash.

I'm glad i was into and owned classic mini's so was never into this sh*t!:tonguewink:. There are some shocking cars on here.
 
What's up with the spoiler on that god awful pink Escort? It looks like some fat bird has used it as bench to eat her half dozen supersize meals while at a McDonalds meet.

Also, the roof scoop looks like half a cereal box stuck to the roof with sellotape.

Tragic.
