Back to the eighties, A bodykit from a German company. Steppan SSC3 Ford Capri body kit.

Did cost about 2400 quit in the eighties. That includes the 6pod headlights.

:-) Mad Chav, the Essex Road Warrior! Bet there's just a humble 1.6 Pinto under that bonnet!

 

 

I used to know the guy with this car, and it had a Rover V8. The paint was done by students at a technical college for a charity run. It was on ebay a few months ago though without the V8 and looking very sorry for itself. I nearly bid  :)

Might well get blasted for this but I really like the whale tail on a Capri. T'Was the fashion when I started driving. Reminds me of that time. post-6097-142347124087_thumb.jpg

 

I actually like the fiestas too (I know it's a mk2)

Don't mind the whale tale look myself but otherwise, they're good ones Mike. Those 80's kits like JP and you have posted may have been the thing to have in their day but look pretty tasteless now. Hindsight eh?

I can remember all of the car mags I read in the early 90s had double page ads for bodykits. Dimma, reiger, and Richard grant who did loads of x pack stuff for fords.

With or without the snow plough?

Admittedly, that is a tad extreme so I'd wear an OSF hoody until I had changed it with something a little more subtle :lol:

I think I'd have to wear it back to front with eye holes cut in the hood so people wouldn't recognise me. :-)

 

The RGA kits I think are quite subtle and look ok but others? Not so much
