Just change the bonnet for a stock one and it should be beautiful.

Change the front to the DCII LTD, clear taillights, M3 Mirrors and a blue paint job might make it look a bit better... oh and dont forget the Pimp Rims... :P

Has potential if it had a blue respray, lowered, chrome 19's, clear indicators, white interior and something done with the tail, oh and a DCII LTD grille would look better.

Years ago I saw an EB with a VQ Caprice grille (only with a Ford badge in the corner). It actually matched up quite well with the headlights, and I must admit it didn't look too bad. The BMW grille isn't a good fit however.

The back end is Statesman-ish, but the Scorcher rear bar has the same problem, which is why I didn't get it.

agreed grill looks yuck. with the time spent on this thing, would you not do a more pro job on the convertible top- (those silver bars look primitive.)

It looks very similar to an EA that was done about 15 years ago.
May even be the same car.
Apart from the grill, i like it.
Is it for sale?
