Ferrari F430 Replica Kit. Massive facepalm.

[Bluebeard]

I've just asked a question...

''Hi there. Are you aware that this looks nothing like an F430?''

We'll see what comes back.

 

[Laine_16v]

SEVEN THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED POUNDS!!!!!

I've seen better things come out my arse after a curry!

 

[G3 NYX]

HAHAHA EPIC!

"I am selling my Ferrari F430 replica that is based on a Peugeot 406 Coupe. The car is an absolutely stunning example of the real car. Unlike other versions of the car, this has been based on an actual Ferrari F430 and is 100% accurate outside. Other kit cars based on other donors tend to be scaled down versions, but this is as accurate as they come."


I see exactly what he is on about, it is a remarkable resemblance.

[slob]

Nice one!!

 

[goldy...]

the thing that i cant get my head round it is that, ok if your a 17 year old chav and been given your dads old peugeot and wan to ruin, i mean make it a "100% exact replica" to an amazing car. dont do a half arsed job and make it look like the f430's down syndrome cousin.

But why would ANYBODY bid £7500 on it? let alone 2 people! for that money, could easily get a nice Lexus, BMW, Audi etc..

 

[Chapppers11]

FLOL at the comparison shots.

At first I thought you were showing another replica, which looked insanely genuine..

 

[iLott]

I'm sorry. But I can imagine this dudes previous car was a
nissan sunny, with beaded seat covers, a cd hanging from the rear view mirror, a tissue box on the parcel shelf, and the taj mahal running down the side of the car... Terrible, just terrible.

Exhaust pipes looks like opie from family guys eyes

[glenn_adam_doble]

the panel gaps are tidy like

 

[Reko]

FFS why are people bidding on this?! flol!

 

[G3 NYX]

The wheels are 18" chrome alloys with new tyres that cost a little more than a fortune, and they can be upgraded up to 20"s if the buyer sees fit, but I always liked the ones on it now. Lowering springs have also been added to give the car the correct ride height. A quad-look exhaust system has been fitted to the car to give ity that authentic look and sounds amazing like the real deal when at the right revs.

This paragraph says it all...

 

[Lal B3N]

Wow, what an utter piece of s**t.

 

[Andyrg@ ClioTurbo]

What a mess!

 

[Carbon maniac]

maybe the bbc are buying it for clarksons new top title italian infernos

 

[VeinAST]

Where's this Peugeot 406 replica?

 

[Ged]

"What lowering springs have you fitted? Are you sure you did not install the springs off something else... It's seems to ride rather high. "

Has to ask haha.

Btw do I really need to say its horrid and should be burned?

 

[TimR26]

He must be on crack to think that looks like a Ferrari!

 

[Cub.]

Looks like the car equivalent of 'chunk' from the goonies.

 

[G3 NYX]

Would look alright with a proper pain job, bigger wheels, lower and with a massive brake upgrade.

 

[McGherkin]

No it wouldn't, not even the brake lights are the right shape.

 

[tantum]

Lowered? The blue monster next door is lower...

 

[plymcl172]

this is a classic CS thread ! love it

You see all sorts here....

Still not sure if this car is for real ....

isnt it against the law now to put Ferrari badges on cars that are not really Ferrari's ? etc.??

 

[Goodj]

Not quite.

Ferrari pulled up a kit manufacturer who sold parts to make replica 355s out of MR2.

There's no actual law about it, well, aside from copyright or trademark infringement, but that isn't policed and is the responsibility of the IP owner to flag any problems.

 

[MikeoftheQuays]

Read the description and thought it sounded fair enough. Then looked at the pics...

The guy is clearly completely insane. No one with a half decent grip on reality could write that description about THAT car. Astonishing. And FLOL at £7.5k.

 

[Caekii]

Maybe someone with lots of money and a sense of humour has bidded on it... Just to launch it from their private Aircraft carrier into the sea?!

 

[Nexus Icon]

Weren't the Pugs FWD too? At least the MR2 355 kit went on a mid-engined, RWD motor.

 

[Chapster5]

Knuckles we going viewing this beast or what?

 

[Sunglasses_Ron]

Please go and view it! Film it as well. I can envisage the two of you trying hard not to laugh but being unable to contain it.

 

[iOllieSM]

If I had a lot of money and didnt really care about £7,500 I think I would buy it then go banger racing in it tbh. It just deserves to get burnt down to the floor infront of his own eyes. What a pile of absolute s**t! I wonder aswell what somebody in a real Ferrari f430 would say aswell when they pull up next to him at the lights. LOL.

 

[Russ_16v]

Iv just been sick in my mouth a little bit

 

[Inequality Street]

If you took that to a body shop and said make the exterior a perfect replica. I know they'd giggle behind your back but how much do you think that would cost?

If you had money to burn and wanted a funny car.. Would be amusing to own.
