Undecided! Looks quite good from some angles then you see that ridiculous `bad boy` bonnet and it sort of puts you off. There is/was a very similar looking Mk3 Cavalier on eBay which looks suprisingly like that BX.

Seen much worse too, but why that awful bonnet? Interesting paint job.

Don't like the "eyebows" on the nose of the bonnet, but the air scoops are alright. Anybody know what car they are from?

the paint is rage flip paint (old hat in todays circles!) very nice paint and looks the nuts but its a pian to touch in if it gets keyed! (innevitable in todays world!!) But full credit to the owner! the bonnet isnt to my taste with the 'bad boy' look but i think it looks good! the wheels sprayed antracite would look a lot better! am quite liking the boot though!
like has been said, have seen worse!

The bonnet is nasty but that spoiler over the top of the rear hatch is very very cool 8) 8) 8)

Looks to me as the original bonnet has been cut and formed to create the "vent" look.

Overall I'd have said a nice job - eyebrows on headlights don't do much for me I must say - he'd have done better to have got rid of the standard units and used twin rounds or something specialised but - at least he finished it!

Not much money for a 16 valve with that low mileage if its good. Interestingly its not got a sunroof!
