LOL, this thread is funny, everyone going off on one thinking their own tastes are right and everything else is wrong. I must admit, I wouldn't wanna be seen driving that car around now, but when I had it I loved it and so did alot of people. Bare in mind 5 years ago when it was still relatively new, you hardly ever saw mk3s at modified car shows, I did it to be different. As for the comment that this sort of thing should be kept for the likes of saxos well that's just daft, people modify to be different and every chav has a paxo so you wouldn't be different. The lexus lights were a new thing on modified cars back then so were relatively cool to have, now they are made for everything so have the stigma of being sh1te. Look at things like 3spoke alloys, and TSW Venoms, cool when they came out but became common and are now thought of as naff. As for the fake disks, I personally can't believe they are still on the car, as I said earlier they went on to cover up rusty brake drums for a show as I didn't have time to strip and paint them fresh, I was just lazy and never took them off.
Oh and all this "a standard cupra looks better" well that may be true in your opinion, but that car isn't a cupra and looks a bit "second car that the wife drives" when standard.
Now with all the stigma of certain mods being cool and certain ones not, that car would probably not be very favourable in the modified world due purely to small minded fools gobbing off even when not asked for an opinion. But 5 years ago it was highly thought of in certain circles as it had, and I'm quoting from Redline here, "the perfect balance of japanese fashion styling without ruining the european shape". This day and age you wouldn't get a comment like that as fashions have changed, but I hardly think the car deserves a slating just because it's not to your tastes, I mean there's no way I'd put neons on a car now, but when I owned that car they were a cool thing to have.
All I'm trying to say is stop slating it in an agressive manner, if you don't like it, then fair enough, but type it's your opinion and not things like "change this, change that!" as though you are giving out orders, because let's face it, who the hell are you to tell someone you don't really know what to do to their car. Offer an opinion yes, hand out orders... no.
Anyway, Rodders, if there's anything you want to know about the car then just ask.
Oh and if you guys want to slate anyone for their car, have a go at me, I drive around in a Jaguar Sovereign these days and I love it. It's probably an old mans car in most of your opinions but I'll tell you now, women absolutely love it!
