Reminds me of a black VX Clubbie getting around Adelaide with a near fluoro yellow grill, skirts and badging.

I think some people need an education on making a car actually look good. I once had an idea of developing a car 'styling house' where you made the decisions for the average idiot punter and -slapped them in the meantime.

If you guys think that's bad, you should see this Rapid XR8 ute up here.

I have poor mobile pics (which I can't get off my phone), I'll make sure my camera is in the car when I see it next.

Basically has those style rims, but painted Blueprint, with shocking blue decal up the side of it.

Oh god, I wonder how much the tin of dulux was, I think my Grandmothers circa 1970 hand basin was that colour!

I think those have been photoshop'ed. If you look at the rims on the second pic, you can see that theres a white/blue line where the rim meets the rubber. In the first pic, the coloring on the rear wheels doesnt look right. Its alittle too grey instead of black.

They look pretty ridgy didge to me. That line to me looks like the edge of the tyre wall curving out just before the lip of the rim. The other thing that makes it seem like a real pic is that the brake calipers on the real wheels match up which is something a lot of novice photoshoppers tend to miss. To get them right they must have had mulitple pictures of the rims from at the ideal angles to put them on.

I almost had another addition tonight.. went to tuggerah for work. While i was walking through the carpark i walked past a nice new LX WQ Fiesta with a super fat HUGE zebra steering wheel cover.
The person must have owned a festiva trio before because every trio i see has cow style seat covers or weird dash mats !

hahah yeah !

Those rims would have looked alright... if instead of the green part it were maybe black..???

Or if it were just all polished alloy.
