When did B&Q start selling bodykits?

It's a Ford Jade (absolute minger). There's one thing for sure, you wouldn't need to fit an alarm to it. In fact leaving the door open with the keys in the ign and a full tank of juice would probably be pretty safe as well.

Bet it's got half a tonne of stupid hi-fi equip being lugged around with it so you can't hear the diesel engine.

ok ok, everything on the car is pretty tasteless and if I saw it I would think "that ain't very pretty"...... but the rear wing!!??!!

..now that IS a shocker.

Wonder if its springy? you cound catapult things off it!

Edited to say that all said and done, its a Volvo, and you can't pollish a turd.

Yep like that but it looks worse in red I love the backdrop with the old princess in the background although thinking about it the princess had more style than that

The way the nearside part of the rear spoiler sits slightly higher than the other half is a nice touch too

Bloke must be a genius though, he got people to buy it

I believe those taillights came from a Honda Civic too.

Oh, these will make you gasp too.

This has been laughed at all morning in our visitor car park

Just seen it leave as I was out for a walk at lunch time with me girlie... we both watched it drive past mouthing the words "oh my god.. What the ****???"

Looks even worse in real life than in the photos.

Yup, got a call from someone calling me over to the window to have a look at it.
Still, at least no-one is going to steal it...

well he must have a sense of humour.........the workmanship looks ok, unfortunately the styling does'nt accentuate the car at all...the grill looks like its from a rover 600 series and the lights looks like from a peugeot 406/605.......still life is a learning curve.

In the name of all that is good and holy, this can not be right!
It is indeed a crime against man!

I know we live in free world, but surely this man has committed a crime of some sort and should be punished accordingly?

Hey u cannot mock the mynheer brothers. They r the best exterior styling specialists i have ever seen. My Rover has had the mynheer touch and i have had more than enough compliments. My rover will be @ trax 2003 if anyone wants to have a look, Its red and will have a 'for sale' sign on it cause the moneys going on my scooby.
As mentioned before the cars are built completely to satisfy the customers request. The airbrushing that is performed by mynheer brothers r amazing too.

I'm not joking (I would add that this is the visitors car park and not a member of staff )

Pictures are a bit ropey as they were taken with a camera phone. Apparantly this car has been spotted in the Marlow area (as well as Slough, where my company is based).









I'm not even sure what it is

Chris

ROTFPMSL!!!!!!!!!!!

Edited to add I won't knock the guys business - at least he's making a living out of it and the demand must be out there. Horses for courses really, albeit rare ones...
