Those ONYX range rovers
ONYX is an Irish company yes??
I assume they buy in parts from companies like KAHN etc. Then spray and fit them here ?
Or do they simply import project KAHN Range Rovers and change the badges on the bonnet and tailgate to their own ‘ONYX’ ?
Their body kits - are they unique? As in are they bespoke parts they manufacture themselves in Ireland ?
That ‘V8 ONYX’ reg. (‘V80 NYX’ I presume) is cool but if they are an Irish company why would they have a UK personalised plate on their demo car ?? or is it a ‘show’ plate

I think the guy who started it used to run Des Cullen's when they were purveyors of some of the most horrible, vulgar machines to ever grace the roads during the Celtic Tiger years in our country. How he manages to stay in business today beats me.

€160,000 ... on UK plates! :eek:

Fairly sure "V8Onyx" isn't a reg, and I'd be fairly sure that's inclusive of VRT. If it was plus VRT it'd be over 200,000 grand...

Whether you think a motor is vulgar shouldn't come into it imo. It's subjective. If someone wants to drive a 100k guzzler then it's their perogative.

My last post was typed in Word then copied and pasted onto boards. Font size was an accident and it got 3 responses – storm in a teacup !! not all of us users are expert posters.
Cheers ‘eoin’ for the edit
To the rest - infinite apologies !!!!!!!

When including images from Imageshack you might be better off putting the direct link to the file between the IMG tags.

Take off the front bumper, crush the car and throw the bumper onto the cube and it would look better than that. :rolleyes:

What I'll never understand is how people can spend so much money on making cars look bad.
I've obviously never priced them but I'd imagine that those Lambo doors are quite expensive.
Why can't people just get some nice rims, lowering kit and some skirts? - it's not complicated.

I think the most important thing is not to try to make a car look like something it is not.
Lambo doors and replica kits spring to mind.

Apology accepted!

that looks like the Modified Motors Magazine Project Mini, most of the parts were donated from sponsors and advertisers iirc. Still no excuse for it :P

P.C.

Just a tease, but the truth, and pics will back tihis up in time, BUT, today I saw two Verons - and old one and a new one - one parked behind the other.

No lie.

But, I was dragged away.

No worries.
It's a bit confusing when you're not used it.
Took me forever to figure out how to embed clips from youtube.

I'd love to know how much has been spent on that Mini?
Is it a Cooper?

hiscan

I'm not sure,I was only talking to him for a few minutes.I think he said the car is worth in the region of 20k as it stands,I don't know much about modified cars so maybe it is maybe it isn't:)

:rolleyes: 10k would probably be too much.
The ironic thing about butchering your car like that is that it ends up being worth less than when it was stock.

Tragedy

Worth €5k, if even. What kind of a nonce thinks it's worth €20k because thats how much he spent on it?

Seen two Alpine GTA's on the Swords bypass yesterday, wasn't close enough to get good pictures, a wine one and a blue one with white decals.

Spotted in a garage forecourt this weekend in newcastle west





And while taking these pics of the panamera, two 911 prototypes pulled into the garage. When noticing that i was about to start taking snaps of the cars their 'minders' started standing next to my car blocking my view of the porsches. Feckin spoilsports!! You'll just have to take my word for it that the 911s looked smashing (even tho they were all masked up)

I passed that Panamera yesterday, I think between Killarney and Tralee. Would love to have seen the 911's

Went to BMW Welt and saw the Art Cars collection. Very cool, especially Alexander Calders 3.0 CSL and Jeff Koons' M3 GT2

(not my pics)

There was one of these parked in the car park attached to Cineworld tonight, even more beautiful in the metallic flesh



(obvs not the actual car, but it was pretty much identical)
