Why would anyone go to these lengh's to ruin a perfectly good looking car.
I like some of the mods but in general, it looks chavvy. What'a your thoughts?

That is pretty horrid. The owner seems to have plastered every single body part in logos and names as if its 'designer' clothing.

Well I agree that the mudflaps are definitely a dodgy choice, and its a bit loud for my tastes, but in general I reckon its not too bad, looks like its been well done and thumbs up for expressing yourself I say, there are too many boring looking standard motors out there, even amongst elises.

Its probably bet he sells it before he ruins it any more, lets hope the new owner has the good sense to rip it all off. I,m just surprised the photo wasn't taken outside Halfords!!

Is that how you spell Lancishire? Isn't it Lancashire? Perhaps there is such a place.

Goodbye mudflaps, goodbye sunstrip, then it would be OK. Why do people have to ruin, what is already a nice car? If it was something like a Nova, then I can understand.

Have you missed stuff like the second Lotus badge fixed to the front mesh? (yes, that'll be the one just below the Lotus badge already on the nose!).

Its just got tat stuck all over it. Tacky as fk.

I have now noticed on second viewing. Agreed, pretty futile tbh.

"The car was a CAT D write off"
