Alright? I've been offered a crappy Prefect on the cheap... they're pretty much always cheap because they're so hideous. Anyway, I reckon I can rectify that with some serious body work treatment, I need to form a plan but I'm curse word at potatoshop etc. Anyone got any ideas? This is not the one, just a stock original image -  I reckon it's the face which is so offensive, lights too small and far apart for one, so I had a play on MSPaint and came up with this!  Ha ha! Obvious, this is fantasy stage at the mo and would take some serious time to complete in real life, but I want to get some ideas as to what would be possible, see if this POS is worth playing with for a few years. Can anyone improve on this or have any ideas? Cheers dudes! |

I actually like the looks of it standard. I reckon with a few traditional rod touches it would be a cool little car. Bit of stance, banded steels etc

Id go for wider arches, would give it a meaner stance. It just looks to narrow standard. That would be the first thing i'd try anyway. Thats a good effort for MS paint! This kind of look:   |

Cheers for all this so far dudes, some cracking stuff.... those yanks from Joem83 definitely share some similar proportions, so the Prefect could work well with that style of treatment.
The prefects with stock front metal... I'm sorry, but I think look bloody horrible! Ha ha, each to their own of course and i'm sure are loved by their builders! I think it might be the flat slab front and the width of the wings compared to the narrow body/rear, that irks me. Looks weird and clumpy...
That last one with a pop grill and headlamps set into what look like widened pop wings is absolutely brilliant! Cheers for that mate! I could probably just graft an entire pop front on without too much hassle, then widen the rear...

Oh, actually, that black one is pretty nice with a stock front, the heavy chop and two door treatment defo help the proportions!

Not the best photoshop in the world, but you get the idea. All depends how brave you want to get with the body mods  |

I really quite like the idea of one of these as a mini bomb. ^^^that last one with the roof brought forward has something about it.

Bugz... if you don't like the later Prefect front (yours is an E493A), you could hunt out the front sheet metalwork from the early (E93A)model...  |
