That's what happens when cars get to that sort of price bracket. The dregs of society start to "decorate" them.

Probably a member on Drift Works site, which would explain the orange wheels.

Yes but surely you put some stickers on the car too to 'blend it in'

Indeed; Jp fashions are very different from ours.

Sadly, they've got the 'big wheel' thing at last.

For the sake of a new set of wheels, that's a lot of rare car for three large!

Probably had some on there at some point but took them off. But I know what you saying.

Worse than the Scoob? The insurers who covered the S wouldn't even insure it, I had to move insurers half way through a year

It is a lot of car for the money but if its been regularly drifted it might be in a bit of a state, hence the price?

so true , i couldnt believe the insurance costs on a scoobie.

My lad sold his M Coupe for a wrx ppp and the insurance doubled .

So now he has a chav car that is slower , half the value and he pays more for it .
