I've just messed myself, thats pure automotive sex to me, oddball all the way. :lol:

Shows what a simple well place Mooneyes sticker, bare metalling and a hefty slam can acheive :D

Edit: hadn't noticed it's a Photoshop on 1st quick glance :roll:

I thought it might have been a photoshop or a one-off diy job.
I didnt know they actually produced any.
Bit of a shame its been ratted then.

Still looks hard as a teeside stepmother though.

That's not a 300 van (they do exist, but as Anjo said, they look like a stock 300)

If that didn't have that front bumper....

Was gonna say it looks a little photoshoppy, front bumper doesnt look right for some reason and the panelled off area looked like the smudge too has been used? Might just be me.

Good idea, although I think i'd change a couple bits here and there
