Seen this morning. There's also a tasteful carbon spoiler to go with the delightful matt paint finish.

Someone would have paid a lot of money to make it look that bad!

Very well parked, though. You wouldn't get that with a ruined Audi

That jag reminds me of a car in Cov. Some guy has painted his BMW M3 (06) in matt black and finished the grills, bonnet intakes and alloys in shiny baby blue.

Its on Far Gosford Street if any one fancies having a look!

There's a delightful semi-completed Vectra near me, much like that Belmont? of khani. Half sanded filler, naff body kit, ridiculous spoiler, the lot. Worst is the reg plate: L4MDO, with obligatory no-spacing and black mounting screw in the middle of the D to make it look like a B.

Any bad taste car thread has to include the Mitsuoka Orochi. I can't even bear to link a picture it's such an affront to the senses.

While I was looking for a picture of PT Cruiser which I think is the most tasteless stock car ever to land on these shores, I came across this.

I think the orange jag looks fantastic... Not sure about Ballotelli's Bentley though 🙂

I agree that it's a bit of an affront, but that camo Conti has something 'subsonic nuclear bomber' about it...

Another vote for the orange Jag, maybe not the spoiler but the colour is fantastic. 1000 times better than the usual silver/racing green/black paint jobs.

I'm all for colour co-ordination, but that R8 is horrible, none of the blues match! And does the tit driving it [i]always[/i] wear a blue hat with a white hoodie? 🙄

theres a c*ck that drives around our way in a bright orange range rover with black stripes with ford ST logos on it?

there was a classic the other week, think it was a V12 merc 'black' super sporty thing (think top gear had one on few years back)was lovely looking from the front as i pushed the trolley past they had stuck one of these on the back...

[img] [/img]

i nearly fell on the floor in shock, the old saying is true money cant buy you taste, why in the world would you stick one of those things on a lovely car???

each to their own i guess!

Matt-oaa, I'd not really noticed, but you can see the common BMW DNA between those two, obviously obtained from the ugly tree; saves having to knock the dents out when they fall out of it...

I think the Jag wins over any stock model. Someones clearly spent a lot of time and effort making it that bad.

Similar to this:

Toyota [s]prius[/s] pious , why?.............just why would you desire one?, and please don't mention that it is a green option/car - [b]crock of shite alert[/b], buying a second hand car is infinitely greener and kinder to the planet than paying £21,000 to £33,000 for one of these monstrosities, running a 2nd hand RS4 is kinder to the planet (and to the eye).

I just can't take the Pious seriously at all, and for the folk that choose to drive them?....i'd best keep that to myself.

The blue and white R8 is Steven Ireland isn't it? It's appalling

He has previous...

and his wife's bentley, he has managed to ruin this quite spectacularly

Jebus, the Steven Ireland ones are really winning at the moment. That's the true sign of poor taste, you have loads of money and you manage to make an R8 look bad. Well done sir!

Hmm, the Suzuki X-90 is actually fun to drive in a kind of "wish i could afford a real beach buggy kind of way", and i still maintain that a prius is a car that taste has passed by, not to mention any form of styling or beauty.

Whatever you might think of the Prius, it's a positive beauty compared to most of the others on this thread.

Hmm.... i dunno to be honest?, the Prius has a development cost in excess of $1billion dollars, and the best design they can come up with is a bloated dairylee slice?.

Fair enough the other cars on this thread are very [s]amusing[/s] gopping to view but i doubt they've had more than few £0000 spent on them.

The thing is, the [i]majority[/i] of the bastardised cars in here are [b]half[/b] reasonable to start with..... That however, is something the Atoyot Pious will never be..
IMO

I have a strong suspicion that somewhere behind doors the petrol companies are paying the car companies about 5 trillion pounds to make their hybrid cars look like something Jesus would design.

I mean, why can't you build a hybrid car, and then make it look like a Mondeo?

I believe they are working on the 5th gen Prius design at the moment, codename the "jesus sandal"

There's an habit around here of getting a really nice Audi ( ahem ) Merc, BMW, etc and painting them Matt Black.

Horrible.

Will try to get some pics.

Worst one around here is some guy who must be 30 if he's a day, driving some bright green Nissan 300 or Skyline or something with a massive body kit and a " batear " spoiler on the back.

Bet he looks out every day, clicks his fingers and goes " yeah......."

Edit, that Calibras gotta be a joke, WTF would you put a convertible mini roof on a coupe ?!?!?!?

The Ferrari 406 is something else

Why on earth would you build such a pile of sh*te??

My favorite part of his sales blurb is "The battery is located in the footwell of the passenger side, but there has been a battery tray installed in the rear on the boot should you wish to relocate it"

Why put a battery in the footwell????

Obvious, really. They look that shit so their owners can feel smug - "Look at me, everyone! I'm saving polar bears by driving this pile of greenwashed turd!"
If it looked 'normal', they'd have to tell/bore (even more) people about it.

Bit of a waste of time with the removable steering wheel, 2 problems I see are:-
1.No one in there right mind would want to be seen in that monstrosity.
2.You can get inside via the panel gaps if you wanted to nick anything or preferably do the guy a favour and torch it.

And the 'Ferrari', whomever wrapped that needs to be strung up! So many things wrong with that car it's unreal.

@grahamt1980. I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and each to his own. But for this

I think the Ferrari would have looked tolerable if it didn't have the tin foil stuck to it

You need to go and sit in a corner, think about what you said, then have a stern word with yourself.

Off you go.

I think it would have looked rather better if it had been left as a 406!

I did say tolerable, and that was from the one photo. But yes you are right it should have stayed as a 406

There's an habit around here of getting a really nice Audi ( ahem ) Merc, BMW, etc and painting them Matt Black.

They're not painted, they're coated with a removable vinyl wrap. I'd go for a clear vinyl wrap, just to protect the paint from pigeon and seagull crap, and possible scratching.
I just can't take the Pious seriously at all, and for the folk that choose to drive them?....i'd best keep that to myself.

It's the choking cloud of smug that accompanies them that I dislike...
The blue and white R8 is Steven Ireland isn't it? It's appalling

He has previous...


Wtf is Steven Ireland?
Let me guess, he's a Wendyballer, right? Is it an essential part of being a player that they have a taste bypass operation in order to get the job?
And what his missus has done to that innocent Bentley should be subject to severe legal penalties!

The middle one of the three that Tazzy posted is a Aztec. I had a ride in one last month and even for an American car it is truely horrible.

Anything called porche,

Some of the older Peugots, and all of the newer Peugots,

Most of the Toyotas, and hondas,

Nissan juke,

meriva,

Ford fusion,

Vauxhall insignificant/insignia

All suburus, driven by men in anoraks, get the optional heater fitted,
