Here's what I saw today, mark 3 (don't quote pictures, 24h ban!)

I seen one in the flesh recently and they look ridiculous imo - a very accquired taste that won't age well. When you think of how well older honda type R cars have aged.

Love the wheels and the colour
The x is not a looker in person, it's like a bloated model S.

Yep. Looks like a powerful aircompressor was used for giving it that shape

That's part of the appeal to me, it's just so uncompromising. Like they let the 16 year old designer free on it, and then rushed it through to production before the accountants saw it. Can't wait to buy one in 10 years!:D (Except nobody will buy any because of how ridiculous they look)

Is it petrol or diesel?

Which car are you talking about? If Type R it is obviously petrol.

Yes the type r. I thought I seen on awhile ago, older model, until he started up his mighty diesel

fair play to the owner for going all out of its a proper type r!

Oh yea I forgot about people doing that. I'm not up to date on prices as I never check them but I wonder how much of a price difference there is between a diesel civic and type R after adding the body kit and type R interior and such. Would it be even worth your while. Personally I think you would just be better off buying the type R as that is the car you obviously want if after doing such modifications.

A beautiful car, completely ruined by that dropped suspension.

I'd say it's on air so it's only that low when parked...?

Like something from Father Ted.

Light bars just don't suit that hiace.. Very odd looking alright.

way overpriced but looks kinda cool with roof up - doesn't look so good with hood down as hood disappears

More a case of 'Here's what I saw last weekend'

Don't think it would be as quite appealing if the bonnet was always up.

goochy · 01-11-2017 6:02pm

Hillarious - not !

wotzgoingon · 01-11-2017 6:27pm

@CianDon I would love to have a rip in one of those cars.

Duke O Smiley · 02-11-2017 11:19am

There seems to be a surprising number of those about now.

Finnish registered VW Crafter camper van in Clontarf today. The characters don't denote a location but even Helsinki in the south in 3,000 km from Dublin

bear1 · 02-11-2017 3:30pm

According to Wiki, B = Helsinki.
So that beasht has driven far.

Far? .. I wouldn't consider 3,000km "far".

I wouldn't bat an eyelid at a Romanian or Bulgarian Reg'd car which would be further distance wise and which I have seen plenty of.

Driving that pile of ****e from Finland to Ireland is far..

Parked next to a nice Corrado today, don't see too many of them these days.

Bus Boy · 02-11-2017 5:41pm

Ciano,

Is that your 106?

Eh nobody really blurs on this thread, I blurred mine just to avoid being identified.

Blurred now anyway.

No, I have one and like the wheels(if its yours) on it. Mine is fairly original and was looking for some wheel ideas.

Ah nice one! A gti yeah? It's mine alright. The wheels are 15" OZ Superturismo's anyway but not sure of the exact model, they look a lot better when the car is actually clean.

That was only until 1972, but I suppose there is a good chance still that its from there

Found the very illusive 520d m5, don't remember BMW plastering their diesels in M5 badges from the factory

Serious car for a serious man. A real petrol head he is.:pac:

MadYaker · 03-11-2017 7:57pm

Id feel like such a twat driving around in that.

rex-x · 03-11-2017 9:10pm

Thats what I don't get, you must be somewhat of a petrol head to put the quad exhausts and badges on but if you are then surely you would see the stupidity of it

people

Total waste of time. The people who know what an m5 is will know its not an m5, those who dont know what an m5 is wont care.

JimmyMcGill · 03-11-2017 11:58pm

It's gas to see as years go on which cars begin to come into price range for lads that do that sh1te to their cars. Seems the F10 is next to be slaughtered. Pity, as that was a lovely car to begin with.

I'd say they'll be alright. It's hard enough to say what will be ruined next - take the Mk5 GTI as an example, sure some have been driven into the ground but at least the vast majority of them haven't got a stupid bodykit on them.

colm_mcm · 04-11-2017 4:21pm

Mk7 Golf regular type is about to hit ballbag money so you'll soon see a lot of them with big sun visors

Here's what I saw today, mark 3 (don't quote pictures, 24h ban!)
