PMSL!!!

im with marc im afraid, not really my cup of tea. always reminded me of a tortoise with some steel on its back.

appears to be a shed load of money spent on it, and you love it so really thats all that matters.

i do like the ice however.

like im late
h dear oh dear oh dear..... just not the replies you were expecting lad....

think it looks awful.... but it's your car, your money, so more power to you.... but i really dont like it....

in a few years, when you get a bit older, you'll look back and thing "oh ****, what was i thinking?!"

it just looks very thrown together mate....
1) the spoiler is ****... it does not go with the lines of the car, nor anything else for that matter
2) the rear lights... dont know what is going on there.... if it was me, and with the theme of your car, i'd have tinted standard ones down just
3) the bonnet vent.... wtf?
4) your front spoiler is so low its catching everything by the looks of things, and lumps of fibreglass are cracking off.... you will end up having major ball-ache over this
5) your handbrake gaitor isn't even on.... just hanging like a big rubber on a wee ****!
6) i really dont think i need a 6!

dude, sorry if this seems harsh.... i've been there and done it all before (although not quite to this level)

your ICE set up looks first class though, and if it came outta SIM you just know it's gonna be sweet to the beat!

you obviously love your car, but maybe for 2006 paint it all one colour, and go for a nice subtle kit.... i think it'd make the world of difference...

just my opinion though...

ffs....... I think its groovey! loads of hours spent on it which is obvious and it looks good for it. only thing is the rear spoiler is a bit big. Rock on ford classics.

interior i have to say isnt bad, a nice setup wit the seats, bit of colour codin on the dash and the ice tie in nicely, all looks quality....

exterior i'm sorry i cant say anythin i like about it....wat engines in it? and wat are the future plans?

as Big pimp says in a few years i when u can insure summat quick an relatively tidy as standard u'll look back an shake a head, but enjoy it...(christ am i gettin that old...)

Nice interior!!

Leather and fibreglass install look first class-who did your retrim??

As for the outside-i think it lets the inside down!! Which is a rare thing for a modified car...normally the interior is the weakest point!

oh and like some other here.. i think the interior looks great apart from the steering wheel. the boot build looks impressive and the door builds look very nice also.

still my first comments on the outside still stand

cheers for all comments so far
the front bumper has now been taken off due to being damaged so ofter a new bumper should of been here this week
the spoiler is also coming off for a nice subtle evo style one which suits the rear of the car
paint well that is something i had balls to do and it maybe is time for a change but i aint going to spoil my future plans with it as i dont want to give away any clues
im happy with my car and im not 17 i have been about modding cars for a couple of years and my opinions of modding have never changed
all comments have been taken on board and cheers for being honest

aye, definitely. most would start shouting and giving off. at least you can take the bad points along with the good.

the thing i always realise about modified cars is everyone doesnt have the same taste and if someone doesnt like my car its a fair enough point the changes im going to make will improve the car more in my eyes but what ever i do to the car there will always be people who dont like it but hey thats modified cars for you

Don't really like Fords, don't really like 2 tone paint jobs & not a big fan of vents/kits so not off to a good start with this car, but as already said, I appreciate the amount of time, money & effort that has been put into the motor (y)
