Well it would be a big saving on buying new ones - is that a new front clam too?

Oh my.. That looks.. Weird... A bit like the cross-eyed Morgan Aero 8...

I can understand wanting to be able to fit off-the-shelf 90mm light units that are easy to get, but definitely not this way  :sick: 

 

Would probably have looked better if they had taken moulds from the original headlight units, made new headlight 'pods' and fitted the 90mm units in that way. This totally 'smoothed over' look doesn't work on the car IMHO..

 

Bye, Arno.

In that pic on pistonheads, it looks like Wayne Rooney is about to buy it.

I thought he must be from the area his garages are but by the sound of that he's a manc.

Good spot. Yes looks a dogs dinner that. First...and last one...in the world I would think.

Besides the indicator lense, it is also missing the spoiler, the splitters, the mudflaps and the diffuser plate. 
The mesh above the exhaust is aftermarket, the fuel hose is not secured as it should, and the drivers side door edge seems missing a christmass clip.
And that is just from the YouTube clip. I could probably see more at a decent inspection. 

 

That car needs quite the love to get back to standard.

All that orange silicone/glue underneath the car is a lot messier than it is on mine.

Is that OEM or has someone else tried to "improve" it?

Definitely an "improvement" - it's everywhere!
