Fully Sick Sporty KIA Rio with bonnet scoop!

[Guest Munky]

Hey,

Just thought I'd post some pics of a 'sporty' looking car I saw at uni this week. From a far I saw the bonnet scoop and thought it may have been a civic sedan (which would be funny anyway), however as I approached it I saw the well respected KIA badge on the front. Sarcasm aside, this would have to be one of the more pointless mods I've ever seen on a car (my mate has a KIA and we always make jokes about how he should invest in a kit - little did I know KIA kits even existed!!).

Has anyone else seen any outrageously bad/unnecessary mods to similar cars? I remember seeing another person driving around uni with a civic where the only mods were fluro mud flaps.

Anyway, hope you find some humour in the attached pics and apologies for the bad quality - they were taken on my phone camera.

Cheers

EDIT: Removed plates!

I saw a car today that made me physically sick...

It was a lime green metallic VN Commodore, some kind of lower bodykit and a GT wing on the boot

The GT wing and portions of the bodykit were painted bright purple as well as the window surrounds.

It had a stock ride height and 15 inch mags

What an atrophy...

I remember sometime ago they did release a limited run of this blue wrx lookalike model. So I believe the way that KIA looks is how it came from the factory, correct me if I'm wrong.

Unfortunate for the owner, he/she not only paid to get a lookalike WRX but also the attention of being laughed at.

[Guest Munky]

lol Evo_Lee that just makes me feel more sorry for the owner!

found it...

"Kia is confident the Sport-Pac will be popular with young people who want a car that looks fast but who can't afford to buy or maintain a car such as a WRX or a Lancer EVO. "

LOL

Thats gold

Yea,. ive seen one of those around before too. I thought it was just a mid-30something lady havin an identity crisis... like the ones you se in excels wih big exhausts and big spoilers bonnet scoops etc.

Yeah, used to be one parker in the shopping centre at my local shops (yes, IN they have some shop set up with a few cars there, pretty dumb idea. CAN I TAKE IT FOR A TEST DRIVE MATE?) anyways, a crummy blue one like that featured there for a while... my mates and i always had a good laugh at it on the way to Coles.

They had one at the Sydney motor show and it was attracting all sorts of people. Mainly due to its joke factor. Worst attempt to sell a car ever.

Seen 2 "fooley seeck" holden astras.

A dark red one with a weird bodykit, mesh grille, fartcan exhaust and chrome wheels.

Another blue one which had a fartcan, chrome wheels and 2 (yes 2!) spoilers. One on top of the other.

Both drived by people on p plates with cappa jackets and fubu caps

Today a was next to one of those MR lancers and it had a dam big cooler at the front but I did'nt hear no turbo?If he put a fake cooler on to look cool thats just sad.

Saw an old late 80s or possibly early 90s Falcon GLi (square-ish shape) with a tail light black plastic insert to create an illusion of Skyline's 4 round tail lights.... LOL hahaha.

Last seen @ McDonalds Clifton Hill, seen it around there 2nd time already, so could be someone who lives/works in the area.

Untill you've seen an excel that has pink interior, body kit with some sort of spaztic plane wing that moulds into the back of the car, fully sick sports zorst that sounds like one of those wet farts that dribble and the portions of the body kit that are not stardard are painted in blue, you have seen nothing!!! :bonk:

[Guest Munky]

sounds like one of those wet farts that dribble

hahaha way too detailed description.

Just wondering, was this model of the kia any more expensive than the normal one?

[Ronin 09]

I'm sorry, but nothing beats the stock Daewoo Matiz with fake side pipes!!!

[OKBANANA]

I'm sorry, but nothing beats the stock Daewoo Matiz with fake side pipes!!!

hahahahaha

[The_Paladin]

i saw something in a car mag here that beats the daewoo

a peugot 106 with bodykit, mags, paint, wing, etc.........NO speed enhancing mods, but they still put a racing harness in it infact with all the extra weight. a stock model would run faster........remember this is a 1.6L engine so they didnt really need a racing harness :headbang:

oh and this was the feature car for this mag, not a piss take..............
