Somehow a "mafia" car's bling grille, does not belong on an AU.

I think the AU fails miserably in the looks dept.
It just doesn't flow, the lines of it, just don't match.
Whilst the poor soul spent thousands in doing it, it'd be pretty hard to make any of it back, if there was an intention to sell it off.

They say that "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" but geez the owner of that AU must have a pair of dark glasses a white walking stick and a labrador dog with him at all times :

It looks as though it was inspired by one of those Suzuki X90 things.

Tickford rims and slotted front rotors.

Funny thing is it also had VCT badges on the side gaurds and one of those silly nudge bars. Wish i got a photo for you guys, it was just stupid to look at lol.

Must say - I do like to chuckle when I see cars with an 'identity crisis' where they're really not sure what they are...

There is a guy that has a car in my suburb... a BA XT 6cyl ... it is white, and has black/grey cobra style body stripes... a GT badge front and rear... a $20 ebay special black air intake on the bonnet (think the ones you see on hyundai excels)... and 15" alloy wheels (bear in mind, std steel wheels on BA was 15")... also has an exhaust that sounds like someone has punches holes in the muffler...

I feel sorry for the car...

Maybe it is infact the only GT that was built as a 6cyl auto??

There is a Mitsubishi Lancer(1990 model) going around with cobra stripes, badges and stickers lol.

How about this one. It's a Mexican food company/shop

Not being picky, but BA's came with 16's, you cant fit 15's on them due to the size and mounting of the twin piston calipers. This happened from AU2 onwards.
