I think some of the components on that car might be a bit suspect for use as a donor.

4-stud high offset wheels, twin-cam transverse engine, so its relatively modern. Maybe a vauxhall astra or ford focus??
Just a guess

First thing that entered my head was renault.

edit : it seems to have a plastic front wing (whats left of it) so i'd say its of the 16v clio variety - possibly a 2.0l sport or williams.

Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a
car that you are still paying for - in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes
and the car, and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it.

I agree with the guess on the Renault Williams Clio.
Is obviously 16V twin cam (Not Boxter), FWD and a blue colour with Gold wheels.
We see every other engine on here other than the 16V Renault engine so you can rule out Zetec, Duratec, Vauxhaull 4age etc.
p.s. is that yellow thing in the bottom left hand corner a Crook lock? Strange place to keep it, shouldn't imagine anybody would want 2 pinch
that!

There's a glimpse of a crooklock in there as well
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

I was thinking mitsu evo - just cause it looks like its got a little bit of flared wing left.

it is either a clio 1.8 16v, or a clio williams.
Definitely an F7P (1.8 16v), or a F7R (Williams 2.0) Engine.
I've got one in my Garage (an F7P)
The other cars that that engine is used in, is the megane 2.0 16v, and the Renault 19 16v (which has the F7P engine).
It doesn't look like either of those, so my guess it that its a Clio 1.8 16v.
It is unlikely that someone would have put those wheels on a williams. (Most williams owners are purists).
Just my thoughts.
Chris.

after further inspection, it is definitely a Clio.
They are the only car to have the F7 engine fitted, that has fibreglass wings. You can see the wings in the photo's.
Also, the Renault 19 has a different inlet manifold to that.

oh, and thirdly, the car on the bottom is the same too, you can tell by the wing mirror, door, and plastic grille below the screen.
Was the picture taken at infinicar?

nope, we aren't wrong.
It is definitely a clio 16v, or williams. They have the same bodyshell, with fibreglass front wings.
I had a clio 1.8 16v for a few years, and swapped the engine in it, I recognise all the hoses and wiring loom!
I'm positive, I would put money on it!
