Don't forget to also see the previous part >><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
In the Ukrainian city of Kolebyaki, Poltava region, a rather strange Niva VAZ-21213 was put up for sale.<\/p>\n
The SUV features non-standard tuning with completely replaced optics and an original plastic body kit.<\/p>\n
All headlights front and rear were replaced with small round lanterns. To do this, I had to make new lining on the grille, sidelights and taillights.<\/p>\n
In addition, wide bumpers front and rear, a hood trim, a sun visor and wheel arch extensions appeared here.<\/p>\n
For a 2003 car, the seller wants $3,200, or about 240,000 conventional units at the current exchange rate.<\/p>\n
I have repeatedly published photos from America with minivans converted into pickups. The result is always, to put it mildly, controversial.<\/p>\n But someone from Ukraine tried to do the same (of course, they idolize America).<\/p>\n The all-metal GAZelle of one of the repair plants was taken as a basis. She cut off part of the roof, which made it possible to organize a small and completely useless cargo platform at the back.<\/p>\n And this is cultural St. Petersburg, where someone tried to add sportiness to the three-door Lada Priore.<\/p>\n The car received a new front bumper with built-in fog lights, and most importantly – wide wheel arches, like in rally cars.<\/p>\n But no one even bothered to paint everything in one color, and most importantly: the suspension and wheels remained standard, which simply kills the whole idea.<\/p>\n It is no longer possible to determine<\/a> the make and model of this car.<\/p>\n The owner put a lot of effort into turning it into a kind of cool (though only in his opinion) American muscle car.<\/p>\n He made a new body kit out of what looked like polyurethane foam, which he covered with automotive putty and then hand-painted with a roller or brush.<\/p>\n Naturally, over time, paint on such a basis begins to crack, further destroying the appearance of the car.<\/p>\n Limousines have recently been a separate type of “creativity”. Some are not just disgusting, they are terrible.<\/p>\n But as practice shows, in our country there are a lot of people with a completely rejected sense of taste, who are ready to pay money for renting a car similar to the one you see in the photo below.<\/p>\n Even the idea sounds absurd: a minivan stretched into a limousine, with eight wheels, an enlarged roof and a Rolls-Royce-style front end.<\/p>\n It not only sounds bad, but it looks the same. Although I am more than sure that they still managed to sell it for a rather impressive amount.<\/p>\n Everyone knows that the Niva's spare wheel is under the hood. Such a stupid decision, which significantly worsens passive safety, was invented by AvtoVAZ engineers.<\/p>\n But this guy decided that he did not want to put his life in danger and began to think about where to fix the spare tire.<\/p>\n His brilliant idea was a homemade bumper with space for a spare wheel.<\/p>\n And if it was the rear bumper, then I would not say a word. That's just the spare was in front! Moreover, this is a cast rim, and the car has all other wheels – stamped.<\/p>\n I wonder if his engine began to overheat due to the fact that the spare wheel overlaps the grille?<\/p>\n Rostov has always been the focus of a terrible tuning of domestic cars.<\/p>\n And here's another example for you: an attempt to turn the VAZ-21099 into a cool tuning project.<\/p>\n Yes, the fender flares look nice, but I can't say the same for everything else.<\/p>\n For example, about a stupid air intake on the hood, or about a huge rear wing on the trunk lid. And how do you like the mechanical locks that fasten the bumper to the fenders?<\/p>\n The owner of this car read somewhere about how the creators of racing cars reduce weight by removing everything unnecessary.<\/p>\n Then he decided to do the same with his car. He took and cut a bunch of holes in the front panel.<\/p>\n But it not only began to look miserable, but also was completely useless. After all, the plastic front panel weighed practically nothing!<\/p>\n The owner of this eight wanted his friends to know about his arrival in advance, when he was still a few kilometers away.<\/p>\n His brilliant idea was to replace the tailgate glass with speakers. Then he could turn on the music to the fullest and “please” the district with his appearance.<\/p>\n That's just something obviously went wrong, because the final result was terrible. It's also not very clear how he planned to protect the speakers from rain and snow.<\/p>\n And again we are moving to neighboring Ukraine, where a seriously modified “six” was put up for sale.<\/p>\n The car has become like those terrible camouflaged prototypes that automakers are testing on the roads so that no one will know the real appearance of the future car.<\/p>\n Everything about this project is great. Starting from gradient tinting (look at the windshield) and ending with carpets on the floor in the cabin. Real carpets!<\/p>\n Another attempt to turn the old Zhiguli into a racing cannon. To do this, the owner rewarded his car with a new front plastic bumper, made crooked wheel arch extensions and “dropped” landing<\/a> to zero.<\/p>\n And then there were the strange micro-air intakes on the hood, just like the cars in NFS Underground from my youth.<\/p>\n Well, the lens front optics and a new homemade grille complete the picture.<\/p>\n![\"16](\"https:\/\/auto.inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/post-169667-624f123e04d63.webp\")
