Your looking at least £25,000 with the custom made kit and parts.

omg....... an SLR costs about £280,000 or summin, phat saving!!!!
Posted by Lynx69
It looks great but it will still drive like th eold banger thats underneath
Posted by 50Cent
well the dude only made the chassis and bought the parts (engine and interior). it should ride like an SLR, the only thing i can think of preventing it doing that is the weight difference in the chassis.

Looks like they had problems aligning the bonnet.
Seems like the donor car was also a Mercades. Either a 190 or 200 series.
Would have chose a better car than a Mercades to make a kit car out of though.
The Banham (think I spelt it right) for example. Its based on a Rover 200 series and the finished result is an Audi TT. These are more affordable and an A1 finished example can be picked up for around £3000.
A Pagani Zonda S would have been even better.

obviously you dont know too much about cars! This wouldn't feel anything like a real SLR.

well he clearly did not build his own chassis, but used the one from the old car. It also looks like he reused his engine with a new mercedes plastic facia over it. I can't tell if he reused the suspension or not.
This car would have much more body sway, a much louder ride, be considerably slower and is most likely very frisky on the road. It would be nothing like the real thing, except in looks. The chassis and suspension are the two most important things in determining ride, and this car is far behind.

Reminds me of those MR2 - ferrari mod kits
Posted by whentheleveebreaks
IMHO these things smell of total wee (esp. those mr2/ferreri things). I that thing costs £25000, you've got to be a total mug to buy it and then do all the work fitting it! Imagine your driving it thinking your the dogs nuts and you get people trying to race you all the time (which does happen to people with fast and expensive cars) and everytime your getting beaten off the lights!!!
p.s. these are my opinions and my friend sitting next to me

Well i think you're wrong. Do you think Corsa boy is going to try to race one of those things? Nobody tries to race supercars because a) You hardly ever see any, and b) you will look like a twunt. Null and void i'm afraid! And why not build one? Everyone wants one, but hardly anyone can afford them, so why not make a kitcar?
Posted by whentheleveebreaks
from my experiance corsa boys will definately race super cars (they will race anything for that matter). Most epeople will recognice the SLR as a fake straight away (naff wheels, wrong lights at the back,no exhaust pipes comeing out of the sides, the fact that it wont sound like the real thing, probably as slow as a pig). I think £25000 is a lot of money to spend on a fake

Some kit cars are OK - it depends on the donor. Eg. AC Cobra based on a Granada Scorpio 2.8i - as fast as Puck, not as fast as the real thing but just as likely to die whilst driving
Posted by themarques
Give the guys credit, they did a damn good job.
P.s Corsa-Boys (Nova as well) always try and race my Plymouth Prowler...
Thats her when I bought her last year...

@Melik Got me worried there for a second..........
Posted by methylated_spirit
oooh nice, what engine is at the heart of that beast? I'm working on a mini, well, i've got a bodykit and Uno turbo engine, but no donor car!
Posted by themarques
The SLR or Prowler? Prowler V6 soon to be supercharged with NOS.....

Nice Wheels..

Lmao sure did
Posted by kimcheeboi
bitchin' car (themarques)
on the other hand, why don't we take a ferrari and turn it into an mr2? That will deff set all those Corsa boys straight!
I'm going the take my 2 cylinder pickup truck and turn it into a school bus!
Posted by Miss UK
pls post piccy's then KB
Posted by kimcheeboi
yeah
hope i can make some slight modifications so the truck will be able to take the load of a bus
seriously now, i'm thinking of buying a motorcycle (still have to get good at riding however), what should i buy?
I'm angling towards a ducati right now
Posted by methylated_spirit
kim, a corsa could NEVER keep up with an mr2 never mind a ferrari! Corsas are the lowest of the low, absolute shite. Young boy racers buy them, and then spunk about 3 grand trying to make them good, but they are still shite
Posted by kimcheeboi
meths- then i could race them with my school bus/ 2-cylinder truck pile of shit!
Posted by Miss UK
OiOi Corsa's are really nice...
My mate has this:
Small front pic...
There alot nicer than them old enns was in 1 last week
there's no room
Posted by methylated_spirit
Point proven! thanks for the pics, saved me having to upload them
I dont know how you can say they are nice, there are 17 in every street, and they are Vauxhall. If you want a small car like that, jeez, get a Clio ore a 206! Mind you, they are dead common too. I hate corsas.
Posted by kimcheeboi
common as clios?
Posted by Miss UK
I can't drive YET
... I do like the Yaris.. and
the new SMART looks stunning
Hmm Every car you see on the streets are at some point driven by youngsters..
I think the new corsa is alot better than the older model it has style !!!
thats all im saying!
Posted by methylated_spirit
Yeah, it is a lot better. Yaris is a good car, my friends got one and she loves it. Well made, reliable, fairly good looking, its everything a corsa isnt!
kim: rotflmao
Posted by Miss UK
The interior dash looks abit odd inside the yaris Lmao...
nice car tho.. the new smart car is nice too..
