Terrible but wouldn't be hard to return to stock.. Looks like airbrushing and not vinyl though... Probably the most expensive bit

Some people have too much money and no taste. I don't mind the engine bay though.

I don't argue the case that its each to there own but As I keep saying not to T series. It would be like doing it to a 70's Gt. Imo it just isn't something that should be butchered. These cars are collectable. If ya do something like this do it to an ex taxi. And as I said this is just my opinion.

The owner of that car won a comp and got a heap of in car entertainment from FIST, so id say he hasnt spent much on it, looks appalling IMO but the bidders can see passed the decals etc to what would be a good car once returned to stock.

I thought he got a bigger bite before me...

My mind is a little warped ATM having just realised the implications of an ad I just saw on TV. In the middle of WYD, a car dealer up here is promoting this weekend's massive sale, with a big banner slide proclaiming "Demonstrators Sacrificed!". Just a tad politically-incorrect...
