Apologies if this has been posted on here before, but for anyone interested in a homemade polystyrene bodykit mod...

That "bodykit" looks pretty much how I feel seeing it.

Even the pro-life advocates would abort that.

I am a little interested though in what exactly is the story behind it. It's obviously a joke, but a bit too serious for just a joke (I mean, the holes in the bonnet and all that garish crap has to be attached to the car somehow)?

Maybe it's a cruel revenge on someone and it wasn't the owner who "enhanced" it?

I assumed it was the first plastering on of fibreglass prior to shaping it painting it etc. Hence the colour and the wiskers everwhere.

Alcohol and Cake Frosting are a dangerous, dangerous combination.

On the other hand, it might look rather nifty when it is done.

(at least until that frosting pops off that flexible plastic front-end like a fake Halloween mustache!)

Woo, carstache!

I'd love those headlight eyelashes, but as the X-Type has 4 headlights I fear it would look like a mutant.

That's not the Mina grille, that's the 2008 OEM grille which has in this case been fitted to a pre-2008 car (pre-2008 front bumper).

The Mina grille has fine stainless steel mesh while the 2008 OEM grille has a less dense chromed plastic mesh.

My bad. Quick glance and didn't even occur to me that the dbag who drives that eyesore might actually retrofit anything OEM to it.
