Just another modified Lada. Getting old now really. Thing is, this one nails it for me.  Yeah, those are Trans-Am hoops. Yeah, the Pace car ones. Can't remember what they're called but you know the ones, Mystery Machine had some for the Lotus.       The pre-facelift shouldn't work as well with this look, but it pulls it off nicely IMO. I wouldn't have ever painted it this colour either, but it looks great. Hard as nails. Anyway, is it just me? |

I like everythig about that, but the wheels. It sits really well, but id love to see it on some big fat unreasonable deep dish minilights.

Careful, HARDCORE will totally ban you for that. Only kidding - he won't really - but he probably should. |

For me, they still aren't the right wheel for the Lotus, but on that, they look absolutely SENSATIONAL!
Oh...and they are Trans-Am Turbo rims. Also found on some of the Anniversary models (which I think were also turbo models??).

Yes!  And since I've just found out that a Lada can be had for quite substantially less than a XJS V12 - I have decided that a "Zhiguli" is my current "most wanted" |

Only kidding - he won't really - but he probably should. lol, i understand that, they are done to death, but i was trying to think of something more chunky. Mabie 4 spoke revos, though he's done nothing wrong with his wheel of choice, it looks great. Ive just noticed they are 5 stud. Hub adapters or mighty sleeper? |

I think that's cool. The classic 3 box saloon shape with round lamps and interesting wheels. It works. |

That really is quite spiffing! Would never have thought about those wheels on a Lada but it works so well. A real mix of styles without looking messy or over complicated.

I think I prefer it without the signwriting to be honest, though it still looks good!
Love the whole thing, looks great!

Adore this car in it's first guise - But the signwriting is making my OCD go mad - I want to get out there with a hairdryer and a spirit level and sort that line out!  I do like the coloured back box in each picture though - something different - and the wheels are just delightful!!! |
