Nice to see Political Correctness is dead and buried on The Motor Forum!!

Pity the same can't be said for that .... monstrosity.

There was an awful one for the current Legacy that made it look like an A6.  I've nothing against the A6 but not on a Legacy.  It's a good looking car as it is IMO.

Crikey - that used to be a W124 didn't it before the SL light conversion ?

That is nasty! It's got a diesel bonnet on it, too!

Having looked at the rest of the pictures, I don't like the wheels either. The rims are too wide for the tyres, and would be kerbed in no time no matter how careful you were. The rear "venturi" effort should really be body-coloured IMO, and they've messed (unsuccessfully) with the front dam too.

All in all, not a cr of "stunning good looks", as they describe it.

They are all utterly hideous. That these aftermarket idiots are in business proves that there is no correlation at all between money and taste.

Can you imagine the ride on 19s with 35 profile tyres.  The entire point of the car is to be discreet and comfortable.  

If I were to modify mine in any way it would be with a chip to up the power and I suppose it could take bigger brakes but there would be nothing cosmetic at all.  Even if I went the twin turbo route (which has been reliably done) then the intercooler would be front mounted so no scoop.

Ray Charles used his hands, and would guage a woman's build by shaking her hand and at the same time using his left to feel the wrist for signs of walrusdom.  He'd have run his hands over these carbuncles and decided to die earlier.

Yep, probably. And perfectly fine by me!!
