saw this the other night, its a zoomed in phone pic so its abit of a mess. but it had 4ft long exhaust pipes sticking up, pink cow print over it, mad camber and stretched tyres with a hanger thing off the back. i think it was a nissan 200sx so not entirely retro but the first one of these things ive seen on the road!  |

Oh great. So we can expect Hellfords to start stocking 6-foot pipe extensions & stick-on arches for Saxos within the next 6 months or so. Is nothing sacred?  |

When has that look ever been "sacred"? They'll stock them in the same way that they stock pre-rusted body panels and faded Coke-Coolers now, I expect  I do hope it catches on, can't wait to see how it crosses over and fuses with european influences and styles |

That's fashion for you! A few people with massive skillz, massive budgets, or both, will create something and make it cool. Those without the skillz or money will then try and replicate it. It's inevitable. What's a 'true modifier' out of interest? |

Why do you assume it belongs to a 'chav' or someone who shops at hellfords? Whats wrong with modified saxos? (saw a saxo in Truro last week that was slammed to fook with stretch- looked good too) I want to see more on our roads |

What's a 'true modifier' out of interest? In my unworthy opinion, it'd be someone who modifies their car for a genuine reason, because they believe they can make it look nicer, or drive better, or simply because they want to provoke a reaction of some kind. They wouldn't necessarily be rich or have pro skillzzz, but they'd have initiative and vision. As opposed to someone who copies a number of single details just because they're the latest 'done thing', or because all their mates have them, or because Revs mag is giving some away. I'm sure someone will be along to pull that summary to pieces, but it's my tuppence worth ;D |

Just trying to illustrate my dislike for bad, overdone imitations  |

Has anyone got any better pictures of this, the description sounds awesome, ;D
i'm of the opinion to enjoy it while its new look over here and people are doing different things with it, like that guy, then when it becomes too mainstream / dull / repetitive look for the next style i like, its just the way it goes.

Great to see a Bosozoku car in the wild! I wonder if the owner is a regular on any forums?
