munkay 0 Posted April 13, 2004 lmao truely awful Looks like some of them have modded their new meccano spoilers so they have some movement like the normal one :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted April 13, 2004 Some real monstrosities there. They all seem to have attended the same "Clip on accessory" evening class. One of the main lectures obviously looks at replacing a perfectly good VW self retracting spoiler with a NASA space shuttle wing. Cool stuff. I like the guy below's approach. Instead of making red/clear lights to fit the car, why not butcher the car to the fit the lights instead? Good going mate! LOL. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DaveStorm 0 Posted April 13, 2004 Bleuuurrggh!! :pukeright: Why oh why?? :? :nono: Hideous. Each and every one of them. :roll: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted April 13, 2004 Hm - think you've been a little unfair on this one. The Nothelle Corrado's are suitably rare and quite desirable.. I don't think they belong in the same league as some of the other monstrosities you posted at all! But overall.. my god.. there are some monsters there. Terrible :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HiAsAKite 0 Posted April 13, 2004 I think the black 4 light conversion may be ok.. but need to see it in person to decide for sure.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
anubis 0 Posted April 13, 2004 My personal fav would have to be either of the cars with the front valance that requires supporting via some sort of selotape and McDonald's straw inventions. You can imagine the conversation they had when they put them on....., ''But don't worry about hiding them, it'll look a lot more tastefull if you put them on the outside, so people can laugh, opps.....I meant admire''. looking gooooood :lol: :roll: :roll: :roll: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted April 13, 2004 I'm sorry but the Nothelle is ugly. Those round lights make it look like a startled rabbit and those rims are ghastly. Some cars lend themselves well to substantial changes but the Corrado doesn't. It's the metaphorical equivalent of putting Pauline Fowler's face on Karmen Electra's body.

kvwloon 0 Posted April 13, 2004 Awful, the least they could do is remove any reference to 'it' being a Corrado when they so soundly f#ck up a beautifully proportioned original design! :cry: Saw one of those lovely 'meccanno' abortion spoliers recently nailed to the back of an otherwise standard Peugeot saloon shopping trolley / kids run car. What the hell is the point, do these people honestly think anyone else looks at the scaffolding strapped to the back of their car and thinks anything other than ...'w#nker'! Don't mind some mods of course, provided there is some aesthetic merit or judgement involved, but these all stink IMO. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tempest 0 Posted April 13, 2004 Have to admit, I quite look the Nothelle front, looks more aggressive than the square original (Jetta-style) lights ... Just my 2 cents ... Tempest Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tempest Phew.. glad i'm not the only one then. Though I don't think I prefer that Corrado over a nice standard one, but I certainly do like it. Those are the Nothelle wheels that Jeremy was on about trying to pick up as well I guess.. they look pretty good too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
G60Jet 1 Posted April 14, 2004 personally i like the wheels on the Nothelle C i think Guy H had one last year minus the wheels Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chrishill 0 Posted April 14, 2004 we have a N-reg honda accord up here with that very style of spoiler and ..............WHEEL TRIMS..................very touring car i must say there seems to be a few cars like that about, theres a green old shape laguna up here with the BIGGEST wing i've seen outside of formula 1 nailed to the back of it. tinted windows and yes....plastic wheel-trims. I tried to get a photo of it on my phone as i went past, unfortunaly it came out all blurry, but the driver was giving me a big grin and thumbs up at the time, i dont think he quite got the fact i was taking a picture so i could ridicule his lack of taste to anyone that would listen :mrgreen: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You gotta laugh! :lol: Just a shame they don't understand irony....people aren't grinning WITH you mate, theyr'e laughing AT you. :-P Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
