Is a 911 with a 959 bodykit a fake Porsche or a real Porsche?

That website is broken but a 911 with a 959 kit on it is still a Porsche ,but obviously a fake 959.

Here we have one terribly modified early 2000s JDM Toyota bB... complete with what must be the most impractical and least accesible scissor door setup imagineable. Horrendous bodykit.. and naff quad exhaust.

For some reason the seller paid £7k for it??!!. A mint condition standard-ish bB sells for £4k tops... due to the cost of putting this one back to standard (body panels aren't particularly cheap to get from Japan) I would say it's worth £500-1000 max.

I'm not into chrome but the wheels are just about the only thing on it that don't look completely terrible.

On the plus side, the huge hoop aerial on top must give excellent FM reception.

I had to double check that.

Only good for static installations though, that's why car aerials tend to be straight and vertical.

I also believe it's horrendous. But someone spending over the odds does at least go to show that there's something out there for everyone.

How is that an ST replica unless ST stands for Sh*t Taste.
Utter gash. Probably worthless now.

I hate to admit it, but I actually kinda like it

I don't.

I never get using a Diesel as the starting point for a replica. In our village there is a Golf 'R', actually fairly passable as the real McCoy (not that Golf R's are over styled to copy)

The pretense is completely ruined when he gives it a boot-full, and you just hear a turbo diesel clatter.

He's even gone as far to put a 'German Whip' sticker on the rear window, which suggest he's taking it far too seriously.

Why, if you know your cars you know it's a fake, so, not impressed. If you don't you probably don't know if it's an R, an S or an ABC123, so again, unimpressed. I can only think that certain teen girls only care for it being a young lad in a 'flash' car, but if he needs that to help him then poor lad.
