i think you could do something with the looks, smaller wheels, remove the windscreen, smaller headlights, remove all the decals from the side,

If you're after peoples views on the look of this car then be prepared for some negatives ones, unfortunetly the Vindicators is not everybodies cup of tea, including mine, there is really nothing about this car I like, from the oversized wheels to the bodywork and colour scheme, to the interior, lights etc etc.

And that roll bar would be about as useful as a chocolate tea pot if you actaully rolled the car as it has no bracing at all, so it would just collapse probably killing you!!

But somebody loves it as somebody built it, it's just not my thing at all.





If you're not living life on the edge you're taking up too much room.

This is exactly what gives kit cars the bad name.
On the positive side, I think you could just squeeze another pair of mini van back lights in if you wanted to.

While they may not be the best looking kit-car on the market , they are not bad to drive
I took one down to Exeter for the show a few years ago (their demonstrator) and was surprised how well it drove - a very similar driving position to my Fury , a usable boot , and very forgiving when chucked sideways through roundabouts .





Its cuz I is blond , innit

I don't think it's that bad... not to my taste, but not horrible.
