Lots of these poor things tend to end up like this these days. Here's another from my mum's road

Buy a performance car, ruin the performance with s**t suspension

 

[RustyMojo]

To be fair we used to do the same thing back in the 90’s. Buy a performance car and fit the largest possible wheels to it, then fill the boot with massively heavy ICE.

Yeah but large wheels were 15" and ice was a set of 6x9s in the parcel shelf🤣🤣🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

I dunno, I remember being 17 and a mate had a Corsa B with 19's and the worst body kit I've ever seen!

 

[Clio_fool]

I had s a ate with an Escort RST that had 2 15 inch subs and a b&q worth of mdf in the boot. Slower than 1.1 fiesta and sounded s**t too😂.

 

[CrippsCorner]

At least with those bags it'll rise up and be driveable I'm sure. However, I would say nearly every mod on that car has made it look worse than it was before...

 

[Clio_fool]

First estate one I've seen and apart from.those god awful wheels it looks smart.

Even worse that it's all official BMW accessories (IIRC).

First one I’ve seen that wasn’t a Transit painted with a roller.

 

[R3k1355]

Q plater?

 

[massiveCoRbyn]

Saw this on Twitter earlier. Apparently a Peugeot dealer in Switzerland has been offering a modern take on the "Rallye" with the 208. It's basically just the wheels and sticker kit, but I think it's quite cool all the same. Based on the 100bhp 1.2 turbo.

Always thought it was a shame that Peugeot didn't do a proper GTI version of the current 208, as it's a nice looking car. A proper Rallye would be even cooler. If they just turned the wick up to about 150bhp, that would be enough to have fun.

 

[BIFCAIDS]

I really like that, nice nod to the past and it actually suits the decals and wheels.

Nah! 19” stupidly heavy, fibreglass and filler everywhere. PlayStations, MDF and sub boxes. Mental heavy seats and dashboards. That was the guys who did it properly! Everyone else had 18’s, ripspeed bull s**t and a Kenwood mask stereo, Infiniti Kappa 6x9’s and a Rockford FOS gate sub and Amp. Oh and slam the fucker to the weeds with cut springs. Completely ruin the things

 

[BIFCAIDS]

Oh they were the days. looking back, you have to think we were all on crack.

I'd go back to that in a heartbeat. Great days. Far more interesting than people leasing a car, throwing the Maxton catalogue at it, a pops and bangs remap, and then removing it all before they lease the next thing and repeat the cycle. At least people were creative back then.

 

[McGherkin]

Hot take: They looked f**king tragic at the time and still do.

 

[RustyMojo]

Thing was I don’t think it was unique really back the. Other than the cover/mag cars. All RS Turbos looked the bloody same, bit like the maxton Golfs now. My point being there has always been a fashion, which moved with the generation. It’s just anyone near 40 now thinks their generation was different or better than the current one. Me included by the way. I had some great times on Sunday nights around the Cheltenham ring road or the summer evening down at Weston. Different times for sure.

How old were you in 1998 mate? Just out of interest. It’s all relative as was/is Fashion.
