The toy
This is my little 205...
pre-lip:
Cut down BMW E30 Pre-Face lift:
Turns out having 3 blown shocks (drivers front and both rear) let the car do things like this:
<--- didn't know we had the blown shocks at this point hence the rear squat and average handbrake turns...
other photos to make you go wow that awesome (well you are in my head):

Re: The toy
Must just be the style at the time, it kind of reminded me of that I saw every time I opened the bonnet on my BX 16 valve...

Re: The toy
That little car looks like it'd be an absolute blast. I'm not much into the hot-hatch scene, but stripped-out interior + uprated engine = craploads of track-day fun.
