Classic example of an attempt to polish a turd.
Polishing turds just doesn't work, some will never learn..

Whilst that's clearly a horrible thing, what's wrong with a California?

MOT history shows the mileage goes from 105k to 1.1k. Could you legally "reset" the mileage with such a conversion, given that it's still registered as a Lexus?

Umm, it's not actually a California?

I know that you maniac. The poster seemed to imply that a California, in general, was a turd that could not be polished hence the question.

I took it as the Lexus was the turd that cannot be polished.

[carinaman]

That has to be a record breaking Red Gurnard.

Indeed and the SC430 is a turd of epic proportions

Mercedes Benz CLK. Future Artifact. Rare St. LUIVOR Race odyssey trim. Heated seats, great muscle. Can drive car but losing drive. Over hundred thousand miles. Mot ending soon. Speaks for itself in person. Offers accepted. Silver, 5+ owners, £599

Great muscle. Such rare race trim.

Very rare M5 with the quilted seat option, airfix bodykit and what looks like 14" wheels....

If you are tempted then you'll be pleased to see the vendor has hidden a 99 quid admin fee in the text. Well, quality like this doesn't come cheap...

They've also got this beauty for sale as well The blue touches on the steering wheel & gear knob contrast so well with that, dirty, cream interior

At least with the Range Rover, it's easy to reverse all the horrible blue bits on it by painting them black or silver to match the bodywork.

Might need some spacers on those axles. Or maybe stick another wheel behind each of the current ones

[beresd]

'rare' must be the most common word in the classifieds.

[WCZ]

if the wheels actually aligned properly into those big arches it'd look good imo

It would bump-steer like a mofo and eat wheel bearings.

And still look gash (IMO)

[threadlock]

I can't believe anybody would go to all that trouble to do significant bodywork mods to that 5 Series and not do the wheels. Given the age and its relatively low value I suspect the previous owner took the expensive, nicely-fitting wheels off before PXing it, to sell separately (or put on the next "project").

Maybe, but the ride height is already terrible, larger radius tyres would make it look even more ridiculous!

looks funny as its so st. also that Range Rover... have to wonder what goes through some peoples heads.

On the 'Car comes with' list they left off the three cement mixer loads of filler..
