This post from Vansboy got me thinking:

"You'll find it difficult to beat my Maestro van.It does have the Montego style seats, with added side support.

& for added refinement, I've fitted the wood veneer door trims ex Meastro Vanden plas. Oh yes, plus the tinted door glass. & a gradient tint screen. & the carpets from MG Meastro, in bright red. &...

Sorry about this guys, but I'm quite serious, too!!

Should we start another thread about what alterations you've carried out on your vehicle!!

VB - you surely forgot the fake leopard skin interior and 70s afro style hair to go with it :-)

What have you all done to your vehicles to make them original?

I covered the back and rear wings of a Mini 850 with sailboarding stickers.

I wrote XR3i and my initials on a tatty Mk 2 escort, with humbrol model paint.

erm that's it. I had a very sheltered life, I never really had the chance, always alone in the playground 'sniff sniff'.

Cme on own up, what wacky modifications have you done?

On my first car (mini metro 1L bought for £200) I fitted an exhaust tailpipe that was blue anodised metal with a plate that cused a reverb (which was supposed to make it sound sportier!lol) I fiited a tail gate spoiler which fell off on the motorway, and to make things worse 3 SPOKE ALLOYS!!!!! lol.

Funny you should mention seat covers, 'cos on Mrs Vansboys new Mx5,well 6 months old now, The 'Special Edition' Montana,...

The car has lots goodies anyway, chrome interior detailing, Nardi wood steering wheel & trim, air, hardtop, extra speakers, alloys, but she had to have:-
front mesh grille
solid wheel arch mudflaps, front & rear,
wind blocker
silver style bars
stand & cover, for hard top
& to hide those cream, dead animal seats,leopard print material was chosen!!

Looks good with the top down, contrasting with the Garnet redpearlescent paint!
