A Fiat Punto cabrio, rather like this.

Had forgotten that they ever existed.

Where’s the rest of it?

In the wallet of the original owner. It isn’t a subcompact convertible for nothing.

Does it not come with rear brakes or suspension? You can straight through!

Fuck the Fiat (I know, shocking) and tell me more about that glorious Rover 45 WRX STi

It’s a small fwd car, so small drum brakes are all you need and which you can see.

This is the rear suspension (on a Mk2 Punto, but it’s similar). You can see that most of it is above and in front of the wheels.

I see the owner has an advanced degree in Giving No Fucks About Wheel Clearance. It doesn’t look possible to fit bigger hoops on that car, unless you were to paint the tires on.

I forget solid axle-d fwd cars are a thing. My brain defaults to things like this:

Pretty sure that’s an MG ZS (essentially the same car with a bodykit and tuned).

Interesting little ride! I like small FIATs, but I am not a big convertible person other than a few sporadic ones...very nice, just not my type of ride! :) I’ll take a Punto Abarth though! :P

I used to see these all the time, almost exclusively in yellow.

As a matter of fact it is a legit bone stock MG ZS 180 Saloon in Trophy Blue.

I love these in blue with the front wing vents (bang tidy). They go for very little these days and there is one I see most mornings on my way home from work, a yellow 180 but what ruins it is the (very poor quality) cheap after market Lexus style rear lights.

What the fuck is cheap aftermarket Lexus style supposed to be? Are you suggesting that there is such a thing as Lexus “style”?

‘Lexus style’ as in clear lenses and chromed housing with some coloured LEDS and maybe a coloured bulb. Some are okay but some look like really cheap nasty eBay finds, It’s been a thing for about ten years or so now in the U.K. I’ll try and find some pics when I get home and fire up the laptop.

The main culprits I’ve found are Ford Fiestas (Mk3, 4, and 5), Renault Clios and Vauxhall Corsas. Quick look on eBay U.K. for ‘Lexus style Clio lights’ will find you loads.

Here’s some seen as ‘lexus style’ (yes I know, it’s tenuous at best).

There are the occasional ones that look great but these ones look ruddy awful.
