Name that car!

[walshydub]

Its ugly as sin, but what the hell is it?



Also this monstrosity. Its got BMW lights but is it a beemer?

Don't quote me on these but the top one's a late model Silvia? With M3 mirrors and the R8 sides painted on... (could've fooled me into thinking it was a Subaru SVX on first glance)

The bottom one looks to be an E36 Convertible.. Horribly remodelled

Ps Walshydub, do you actually know what they are? This gives me an idea for a thread...

[walshydub]

I had an idea that second one was a messed up 3 series but the top one. No idea what that is!! I thought the front lights were off a Peugeot but the rest of it ?????

[mikinoz]

I think that the first is a Silvia - it says Nissan to me.

[Mk3 AAA]

Opel Calibra. (with something like Toyota Truno/Chaser or Sprinter headlights)(or if I'm wrong, a hideous Peugeot)
and...
BMW E36

Both need to be shot.

I take it back about the Silvia.. The bodies don't look anything alike.

The front is very 406-esque.

[Silver dub]

i thought the same about the calibra just around the roof line and windows, but who really knows

[Pana]

Top one def looks like it was originally a Calibra - headlights are from a Vectra B.

That second one just looks terrible!

Yeah it's definitely a Calibra. Perhaps the bumper and panels are interchangeable with the Vectra?

If they are not the same, they would be very very similar - looks like theres been a bit of body work because if you remember, the Vectra had those funky wing mirrors that continued on from the bonnet - they've got rid of that to put the M3 type ones on.

Yeah but the Calibra didn't have the swooping mirrors, so they wouldn't have to change the bonnet for those.. Looks like it's just the bumper, front quarter panels and the headlights that have been changed. It seems they've gone a little R8-ish with the bumper grills but I like the look of it. But if hough if there was something to fill the middle of the front below the grill, it would look more complete.

thats not the original calibra bonnet though - definately a Vectra bonnet.

Wow you've got a good eye for these things. It'd be interesting to see if anything's been done to the back..

[Stan]

what they both are is proof that you can take a good car and turn it into a bad one
