davocano Posted May 28, 2018 Posted May 28, 2018 Spotted (again) today; Full frontal glory a couple of weeks back. MorrisItalSLX, jumpingjehovahs, stephen01 and 9 others 12
davocano Posted June 2, 2018 Posted June 2, 2018 The bonnet is still red so I doubt this is wilful mismatchedness. Jim Bell 1
yes oui si Posted June 2, 2018 Posted June 2, 2018 Probably cheaper and easier than getting new locks.
Wack Posted June 2, 2018 Posted June 2, 2018 A guy I know has a 17 plate focus ST with the worst repair I've ever seen on the OS rear quarter, it looks like it was done with a lump hammer and an aerosol, I assume he's planning on leaning on that bit when they're doing the return asesment
Ghosty Posted June 7, 2018 Posted June 7, 2018 IMG_20180531_224953292_LL by max_burton, on Flickr I also spotted a silver mk5 Golf recently with blue wings, but couldn't get a photo. Aston Martin, Jim Bell and adw1977 3

vulgalour Posted June 11, 2018 Posted June 11, 2018 Fiat Seicento 2ToneSeen locally, recently, and something of a rarity.

LightBulbFun Posted June 12, 2018 Posted June 12, 2018 spotted this while out-n-about (I was with my mum when she said as i stopped in the middle of the road "taking a picture of a shite car?") seeing as this is a council estate im not too surprised to see it, but its not as common as it once was, go back about 10-15 years there was some proper chod around here. it also looks like im being stalked by a certain *sadly not blue dodge... I only noticed the Dodge after taking the photo, like in some sort of horror film when they see the scary thing in the photograph (I recall seeing this dodge before, I wonder if I have a close up photo of it...) bonus shot: this place was a proper shit hole (still is in some regards...) (very much stereotypical council estate), but now its gone up market by quite a bit, with old flats torn down "Designer" ones gone up, at least it means Burnt out and smashed up cars are no longer a weekly thing around here as they where when i went to school (I used to raid the smashed up cars that got dumped in the dead end here for all the intact lightbulbs they had... ) with the estate going all up market n stuff I did notice an increase of JDM stuff around here, and someone actually imported a JDM Hybrid Mini-van from Japan... future Autoshite maybe? one for DW certainly Laseraligningfoofooflanges 1
Yoss Posted June 12, 2018 Posted June 12, 2018 This is why my Triumph now has a matt black bonnet.That was only going to be a stop gap til I got it painted. This picture was taken almost ten years ago. The black has now developed it's own patina that I rather like. Lacquer Peel, Jim Bell, BorniteIdentity and 2 others 5
xtriple Posted June 12, 2018 Posted June 12, 2018 Mismatched paint on cars absolutely kills my brain! I can't stand even a half shade off and part painted panels with a variation make me want to attack someone with a chisel! I don't know what's wrong with me, I must have Italian wiring in the brain box! flat4alfa, Jim Bell and stephen01 3
stephen01 Posted June 12, 2018 Posted June 12, 2018 I geel the same way about a car that's been repaired and they have tried to do a 100% job, that boils my piss, but there's something so honest about a car that's got two different colour doors, and wing very much like the rover, sure he could have scrapped it but it lives to fight another day. Laseraligningfoofooflanges, davocano, Dick Cheeseburger and 2 others 5
yes oui si Posted June 12, 2018 Posted June 12, 2018 I'd rub it down lightly with scotchbrite, mask it and get it all one colour with graffiti paint tbh. Then stick the chrome back on.
Laseraligningfoofooflanges Posted June 19, 2018 Posted June 19, 2018 I geel the same way about a car that's been repaired and they have tried to do a 100% job, that boils my piss, but there's something so honest about a car that's got two different colour doors, and wing very much like the rover, sure he could have scrapped it but it lives to fight another day. I'd roll that as it is.. Who was it on here that had an shonky XJ6 with a primered front wing and scabby roof.. IMHO its more of jag if its shonky just think of it as a nod to withnail and i?
Laseraligningfoofooflanges Posted June 19, 2018 Posted June 19, 2018 Spotted this bizzare E39 on turbines.. Looks like the mental old giffer (trilby sighted) has painted it with one of those fucking poundland cans of blue glitter?! Jim Bell, jumpingjehovahs and RobT 3
Laseraligningfoofooflanges Posted June 19, 2018 Posted June 19, 2018 This dude is on bath salts. XTRIPLE DIVERT YOUR EYES Supernaut, RobT, xtriple and 3 others 6
Laseraligningfoofooflanges Posted June 19, 2018 Posted June 19, 2018 Might i also add that before i had got my hands on a camera (seethe) I spotted an Utterly,utterly hanging MK1 focus in that metallic blue it was vile, Green wings, some other colour bonnet and black rusty steelies.. It was like the 2018 equivalent of a yellow granada with a shit brown door! Missed pap that one Jim Bell 1
fordperv Posted July 3, 2018 Posted July 3, 2018 Ive seen this about quite a bit but have never been in the position to photograph it until earlier adw1977 and Jim Bell 2
Jim Bell Posted July 3, 2018 Author Posted July 3, 2018 Ive seen this about quite a bit but have never been in the position to photograph it until earlier 20180703_183915.jpgHes winning.
spartacus Posted July 3, 2018 Posted July 3, 2018 A 'Bolf', Bora with a Golf front end fitted which may or may not detract from the winningness, depending on your outlook. stephen01 1
greengartside Posted July 3, 2018 Posted July 3, 2018 If this is a Bora with a Golf front end, then should it be known as a Gora?! Dick Cheeseburger and flat4alfa 2
Alan_Green Posted July 3, 2018 Posted July 3, 2018 http://autoshite.com/topic/20134-omg-highndry-accident-hyundai-accent-%C3%82%C2%A3sold/ Been bugging me that this for sale thread hasn't been posted yet. It had a "not significant" cracked bumper and dent, so he decided to improve it's looks by swapping over the panels. Mission accomplished methinks. vulgalour, Laseraligningfoofooflanges, RobT and 2 others 5
bunglebus Posted July 4, 2018 Posted July 4, 2018 These pictures are messing with my head but are strangely fascinating all the same. I miss seeing 70's car with one primered wing though. 20180309_123758 by RS, on Flickr My MK2 estate with MK1 doors; Escort018 by RS, on Flickr My Sierra never quite matched itself; Photo03_1 by RS, on Flickr Sierra004 by RS, on Flickr My Onion also had several different shades of grey (not that kind) Photo11_2 by RS, on Flickr 411 had various wings/bonnet off other cars; RottenRat-1 by RS, on Flickr Bus after rear quarter replacement; 009 by RS, on Flickr Laseraligningfoofooflanges, Dick Cheeseburger, RobT and 2 others 5
