Flame suit on. Thinking of getting a new car- new as in modern (booo hissss!) and I've been hit by inspiration after spotting an unhubcapped Ka. So I'm thinking poverty spec Ka slammed on wider steels... I await hostile replies and possibly inspirational pics...

If you're going to buy a contemporary car there are worse choices.
For the same reason I find myself quite enamoured of the upcoming FIAT 500.

Indeed. I wasn't looking to give it a complete retro makeover. I just saw one on steels and saw the potential to slam it into the weeds over some wider steel wheels.
Nay mind... hopefully this thread will fade into obscurity.
If it doesn't other suggestions for new cars are welcome...

Gold Ka, Schlammed, Image split rims (13x8") streched rubber, rack of roof. Job done.
Better idea, Micra super s 1.3 16v, work equips, schlammed again, oilcooler and headlamp missing intake!

I put my life on the line and say that was kinda what I was thinking. Cheers. I mean the black one btw. I reckon perhaps without the side repeaters and take out the yolk front reflectors. It was just a crazy, random idea for which I can only apologise

Certainly have a retro engine. 1.3 endura E formerly HCS, valencia, x-flow, kent pre xflow. So I suppose an engine design dating from the 50`s should be considered retro. And the power output is on par with engines on which its based 70bhp in the endura E. and when my MK1 escort GT came out of the factory in the early 70`s it had 77bhp. ;D ;D ;D
Decent rally car, but like a corsa I could never grow to like them

I guess this is instead of a retro?
I could think of worse cars, the KA is nothing special and is designed to be that way. But they are quite cheap
POVO Spec------aint all of them povo spec.
Masturbating in the past - how random lol

if your gonna do it, which i hope you don't, do it to a one with body coloured bumpers. i think they look like tea pots with wheels. removal of side repeaters would be an mot fail surely?
