Post by: joshwyatt on 29 June 2009, 21:16:00: That looks really odd, reminds me of the volvo xc70's or audi allroads and things like that with different colour bumpers.

Post by: Diamond Black Geezer on 30 June 2009, 01:18:24: Wow. Someone's put in a 99p bid! They must have money to burn ;)

And the poor guy's got to drive home in that. With the bottom half in silver and the top half in red it reminds me of an old Rover 214...

Post by: Macduff on 30 June 2009, 19:59:47: how could anybody do that to a mig its abolutely hideous :(
Title: Re: What has he done ??
Post by: Diamond Black Geezer on 01 July 2009, 02:07:55: I think he's probably going to get an Aston DB9 and put Starsky and Hutch stripes down it, next. :y

...Ferarri Enzo in General Lee colours, anyone??...hell, how about a Veyron with Herbie's number '53' on the side?!?

I'm off outside now to fit a Knightrider 'woo-woo' light in my grille. :)
Title: Re: What has he done ??
Post by: andyc on 02 July 2009, 14:03:16: Well at the moment its sitting at £55.00 couple of hundred to paint the bumpers and your got a nice car.

Not being funny but if it checks out ok and its all straight you could turn a nice little profit out of that..

Think i'll keep a watch on this and see how it goes......would just need to collect in the dead of night with a paper bag over my head :D

Spot on I reckon ... Hmmm .... wonder if silver goes with graphite ::)

Post by: i260 on 03 July 2009, 01:59:35: As before, persia was one of the classic unsung hero colours of the early facelift cars (particularly when matched to 'Shale' interior!) so why has some pimply idiot gone and ruined it.

I mean, you don't see silver omega's running rouns with persia bumpers and rubbing strips do you!

Post by: Bent valve on 03 July 2009, 17:37:43: I love the look of that car. I really do. To me it depicts a recently bygone age where people would happily drive round in cars with different coloured wings,doors ect.
You also used to see old cortinas and the like with underseal halfway up the doors and round the wheelarches. lovely. :y
