But they seem willing to throw plenty of money at these 'M5/M3' replicas, the E60 M5s reps I've seen around Sheffield have the grills in the front wings, the correct rear bumper with quad exhausts, replica wheels etc. Must spend thousands on them, in fact could probably have bought the real thing although I doubt the running costs will be anything like they are for the real deal. My mate looked at insurance on an E60 M5 and it was good deal more than for the RS4 that he bought instead.

 

The same people that wear Goochi, Rowlex and Ray Buns.

They think that most people will be fooled by the appearance, so in their eyes, gives them the apperance of being better than they actually are It's all about the bling these days.

I suppose it' a bit like a padded bra, makes real tits look somehow better in the eyes of the owner.

 

Hyper - one of these tools lives right opposite FieldL in Wilmslow.

I bet it was that bell end.

I saw another one in Oldham, so I parked next to it

I wonder what these people feel like when a real one trundles by? FRAUDSTER

 

No

Very expensive for the real thing.

e.g £600 for one mirror - similar on the second hand market.

I just paid £70 for a plastic piece to go on the door-no wider than an inch, no longer than 3 feet. £80

 

I wonder how owners of the real thing feel when they see these mickey mouse copies.?

 

When I approached the car, I knew it wasn't an M5 - it just didn't look right.

Then he gave it some and the 6 pot really shone :

Actually, it did make a nice noise, but it was dog slow!

It just annoys me why people seem the need to fake something like this.

If you asked them, i'd no doubt that they'd tell you they could have an M5 if they wanted, but they 'insert pointless excuse here' so they stuck badges on.

 

He doesn't anymore but I have seen him locally. He sold the 530 that he did up and now has.....


a mini convertible.

Homo.

 

The only thing stopping chav's (Ron non including ) owning an S, is the high insurance group and faster lower insurance group cars out there for less money.

 

Why?

It's cringeworthy and embrassing, yes.

But annoying... ?

If only all sad twats signalled themselves so easily.

 

I drive a Boxster, Caymen etc - because I can't afford a 911.

There is no other excuse.



There is a young kid near me who has a Saxo - the sun roof is sealed with bathroom sealant - but somehow he finds enough cash to attach a massive amount of tat to his car.


I like the Japanese idea - that cars are mandatorily written off every few years.


I hope it catches on.
