What do you reckon to this?

I've been thinking of this for a long time. What do you reckon?

Any relation to this one?

Translate the strapline and that should give a clue.

translation: "in prison nobody can hear you scream"

without google translate

Indeed. Yes - it's a total homage to the Clarkson car. The question is; should I do it for real?

I wouldn't, but that is just my choice. Done with vinyl you could easily remove it if you change your mind (at least, as long as your lacquer is in good condition and doesn't come off with the vinyl as happened on parts of mine when I peeled some stickers off!

anyway nice work !

I think in Italy is not legal to do that...
masked police Sprinty chased by some real police cars (maybe Alfa 159 or Giulia) ...

for sure the video will became viral

My paint is brand new, professionally applied, flatted & polished, as is having a ceramic coating done in 2 weeks, so should be no probs. Copper who lives next door reckons it should be no problem in this country.

The law primarily relates to the vehicle having blue lights and sirens that are applied to an emergency vehicle rather than livery. There is no issue with the Italian livery as it does not give the appearance of a UK police vehicle. If you tried to stop people that is when it may cross over into impersonation. There are loads of ex US law enforcement vehicles that are used by events companies on our roads

Which is what I thought. Obviously you can't go around with a blue light roof box, but I thought I might find something magnetic.

But the question remains, and I invite comments - OK, most of you wouldn't do it to your car - but would you think it cool to see someone else do it, or would you snigger? Would I get invited to display on the club stand at the NEC or would it be unpopular with the club members? (how about I promise to fit boudicca chariot style wheel blades to drive by the 'Fast Ford' club cars? )

Don't forget the POLIZIA on the back too, and the white "V" and/or side stripes on the bonnet

I'd say go for it, you've got a month to sort it out and get it on the stand at the NEC...

Personally, police cars are for police officers but it’s your car so go for it if you want

great for a show car and if you happy with the extra attention it will get
I think it looks cool but i personally wouldn't drive it around
it looks a nice tidy car and at the end of the day each to their own!
It is part of car nuts culture and DNA the whole Top gear Jezza thing, so think you will have plenty of admirers regardless of the badge

Anybody seen the top gear display car? that looks mint i wonder if somebody did a proper job or just a quick respray with tons of lacquer?

For some reason this thread reminds me of that movie, Let's Be Cops.

Tacky, makes it a clown car imo. but each to their own taste.

It's OK to be against - I respect that, but the clown version would take a bit more welding;

Not my coupè of tea, get what I did there ? But each too there own I assume ?

Well it looks to be not as popular as perhaps I had hoped and although as everyone says, each to their own, (I'm not a fan of body kits - but if you like them..) I don't want members to think I'm not representing the club well, so I think I'll have a pristine but standard car at the show. Perhaps I'll do it for other shows in the future (complete with Polizia uniform etc) where the club is not exhibiting. (Or perhaps I'll save up for a blue Lambo)

I vote yes! Go for it!

Stai scherzando.

No, non ero
