It was a great project and enjoyed following it but it really does look a mess.

Lipstick on a pig.

It was the biggest POS car mod I've ever seen and I'm still amazed so many of you were gullible enough to contribute to it.

Literally the crusher is too good for this heap of crap.

Funnily enough Brad Marsh (@bradmarshofficial) popped up on my Instagram feed earlier today. He's still committing crimes against taste and decency with cars. Looks like he's currently running around in a camo wrapped Audi TT... :wkr:

Based only on the recent Facebook pics, and ignoring the front which is an abomination, I don't think that it looks too bad.

However, having had the misfortune and mental scars from actually seeing, there is absolutely no way I would drive this car, let alone own it. On a bumpy road there is every chance of leaving a trail of filler in your wake.

Thanks! I guess the buyer must have gone to Specsavers after he bought it, tried a colour change and realized that didn't really help!

Wouldn't want to be trying to shift that! :lol:

Having owned my 2.2 for nearly 10 years and been on many forum runs I can assure you they are not gutless- yes they aren't as quick as a 3.0 but driven properly they are just as much fun, speed isn't everything- my F15 X5 is much faster than my Z but that doesn't mean I enjoy driving the z any less.

Ah but if the 2.2 is hauling around 200kg of chicken wire, tacked on steel sheet and 3" layer of filler, then it would certainly feel gutless
