Think i spotted one of these VXR8 things a while ago.....

Raised-letter tyres! God, that takes me back a bit.

Do they still make skull shifters and gas pedals shaped like feet?

Think he may have got some Tip-ex to do these.. It was all rather DIY garden shed modifications, like the 'shark fin' aerial, Impreza style bonnet vent, wing vents and ridiculous rear spoiler!! The worrying thing is, he will actually be very proud of how he has made his Rover stand out from the crowd!

SC, i dont think for one minute that this resembles your (VX)R8..!

I've messed up there.

I should have had the Walkinshaw or Wortec exhaust fitted when it was new as well.

It's now slotted in behind the new bathroom.
