What a peugeot 406 coupe - no that's probably a lot more than the book... Nevermind that crappy fibreglass someone has glued on..

propotions look wrong to me.

so in summary you have pseudo ferrari looks with presumably high insurance but performance of tin top.

not my cup of tea.

I had a customer who built one of these. The exhaust was the best bit of it. Actually made the Pug' engine sound like a Ferrari (ish). No comment on the rest of it!

i think that doesn't look toooo bad, apart from the none supercar performance.

Isn't that the extreme kit, think they used the 406 rather than the usual mr2. Wonder what is registered as? I think there was a bit of modification (chopping) to the rear chassis so should it have an sva as modified chassis?

Lesson 1: if taking a photo of the door detail make sure the detail on the door aligns with the one on the rear quarter

Lesson 2: when making comments about an ad, read the text: "Both electric windows and door catches need a bit of adjusting"

It's expensive for a 406, cheap for a Ferrari!

IMHO it shows one thing very clearly, that any amount of money "invested" in a Ferrari replica (bodykit / wheels / paint / lights etc) is never going to be repaid!

I like it and I've compared the photos of the Extreme 360 against a real 360 and they are very close (should be, Extreme say they took the moulds off a real car).

I can't decide about the colour, yellow fakes look fake, red ones look OK. Grey is an odd choice. I'm guessing it was either a grey Pug, or the bloke decided that "who would paint a fake grey?"

i hate to say but i dont mind it for the price, and i bet be supprising that its not that bad to insure with a specialist broker


ashg - 4/7/09 at 09:17 AM

i keep wondering if i could build a chassis to take the pannels and make one go proper rather than mess around with shitty old peugeots and mr2's

Don't you just get stopped all the time by the rozzers if you drive around in a Peugeot that looks like a Ferrari?


chrisg - 4/7/09 at 12:02 PM

I'd strip all the GRP - I really like those Pug coupes

Cheers

strange thing, when i clicked the link i briefly got a look at the ferrari before my norton 360 blocked the link with a fraudulent web page warning

Mine too says it's a fraudulent page!

haha another crappy ferrari replica...


SeaBass - 4/7/09 at 04:39 PM

Yep - watch out - somehow that listing diverts onto a different page which is not ebay. If you enter your details on there they'll get mined and your account jacked...

Goes to real Ebay on my computer. I'd run a spybot scan to check your browser isn't compromised with nasties. Saw a similar browser hijack a while ago on another computer - you went to HSBC (entering in address bar yourself - not clicking a link in some dodgy email) then tried to logon. Logon page was actually a spoof that asked for your entire security number. Nasty.
