Bloody hell!!

What on earth!

15k for the conversion why would you bother? Sorry i read on "cheap insurance" i am going to have a lie down.

Just when you think you have seen it all.

What the hell. Seriously. Are people really as stupid as to not declare a major mod like that to the DVLA and insurance company.

Pity the poor sod who get's hit by this potentially uninsured driver...

Oh, and it also looks like something my 10year old daughter might have done in a colouring book...

Everything in that advert makes me laugh.
Factory fitted hard top worth £1000 second hand , bull****.
After Market body kit which is very low. How low is very low?
Anyway I have sent a question asking why they would spend £15000 on some bodykit and some carbon wrap when you could buy the real deal alot less.

The answer has already been given = to save a few hundred on insurance and prey that you never have to claim :D

So I reckon in 10 years it might have paid for itself :roll:

Remind me to steer clear of M3Motor Co, Bathgate. cost you 15K to turn you vehicle into one worth £1500
I wonder if Westwood was at the unveiling.. you have been well and truly pimped.

At least if it goes, the neighbourhood will be pleased :D

nip into Knights showroom in Stoke Tim, there is a new M3 in there in matt black paint, an Individual £4000 extra. Thats 4K extra to leave it out of the clear coat booth
I personally think it looks sh*te, and it costs £67500.
Still.... saves on cost of polish.

Matt black is OK for Stealth Bombers and Saxo's

No wonder someone else did the conversion, apparently it has 19" and 17" M6 wheels!

Shame :bawl: , he should have left the exterior standard although I do like the style of wheels imo they suit the car.
I would like to see the receipt for the 15k that he said has been spent on the conversion :roll: , if genuine he has been ripped off.
For that kind of money I would have fitted a V8 with the appropriate upgrades and still have change out of 15k and a desirable car when selling :head: .

Hmmm -- Nobody has mentioned the cute little gills on the back of the sills. Could it be they might catch on???

It looks to me as if he's fitted an armrest designed for a LHD car backwards :?

What an odd looking contraption...

I like the attention to detail, like the black colouring to the bottom of the front spoiler,
Image

the LHD armrest, the missing switch blank and opening vent, the missing sidelights on the front bumper, the 'Z ......................... 3' badge, and the way he describes it as an 'm roudster project' on PhotoBucket..

i think that is a flip paint as the angle is not showing the right side of the bumper in black.
