Hate it, but credit to the work that must have gone into that front end!

i don't like it, i don't think it's the proper way to tune a C5, i believe it's actually hard to do much to this body...i guess the headlights came off a B8, however the parts seem to fit quite well, some work has definitely been put in...

I don't get it at all? What's the point of it, seems to have forgotten about finishing off the rear. Also why not get the right size tyres put on as well. The first curb he hits is going to make him cry like a baby.

Sorry but it's all wrong and we should campain to get it taken off the road.

The term "mod it like you hate it" springs to mind. It's awful.
Regarding the rear end, why smooth it all over and not get rid of the rear fogs? (just relocate to the rear clusters)
it just looks retarded full stop.

I was being polite as I actually laughed out loud when I saw the back wheels and cringed at the thought of driving over any sort of undulation larger than an AA cup in size. It is funny how much money some people can throw at generic models, half of the time rendering them pointless.

To quote Clarkson, "The owner should be taken out side and SHOT infront of him family." Harsh but I think in this case fair. You have to wonder waht goes on in the minds of people that do this sort of thing, something like? "I know I can do a far better job re-designing my car than the guy that's paid to do it for a living"

Nah, it's like having kids. It seems like a good idea at the time, but you don't realise what's involved. When you've gone and done it and it's a nightmare then you need to rationalise that you did the right thing or you blow your brains out.

Kids? Love 'em, but I couldn't eat a whole one.

FIXED.

Why use a bullet? It'd be far too expensive and effective when a good olde fashion stabbing doesn't cost a thing, it'd take a while longer for him to perish too. Also, a messy stabbing execution sends a crystal clear message to his family and anyone else thinking of ruining a perfectly good car.
If you're gunna do something, you might as well do it right first time around… just saying.
