holy...

kind of defeats the purpose though when you spend more than an M5 to make a cefiro look like one, jes?

its a A32 look at the last pic closely, note the back door glass and look at the drivers side door panel.

I'm noticing the brakes more than anything else.

Obviously the front's going to hang over a lot more but that's not something you can change without seriously modifying the frame of the car.

I think the 2 tone paint helps make the A32 look more like the M5 because the paint border represents the body lines of the M5. Still really nice work, however, I would have taken that money and invested in so that some day I could actually get an M5.

+1. The work? yes, very nice. Purpose? That's questionable and up for debate. The demand for such a product? I wouldn't expect it to sell for even the most ridiculously low prices.

Honestly, from the front shot, other then the fact that the grill is angled way to much id have to look twice.


You nay sayers. your telling me if you saw that you wouldnt look twice. Definatley sweet, although. Did the 97 cefiro have the VQ30DET or am i thinking of the cima/cedric?

If you look over the top of the brakes, you can probably see BOTH SHOCKS from one side of the car lol

And I'm just thinking of what I would have spent that money on. Seriously I didn't know people still did the whole 'lets put a new face and tail on our show car' thing, it seems so 2001
