Now that car is cool!

What about a modification that keeps a bit of the BMW DNA?



Designed by BMW to fulfil the wish of a 4 year old apparently

or on a different note. I have a heap of junk ML430 looking a bit like this


Bentley are producing a pig ugly SUV looking something like this


So Chris, what are your views on doing a Bentley style kit?
11 Dec 2014, 6:19pm
I'm sure Bentley would be cool about it...

Here's a Porsche Cayenne/Bentley Mix built in China !

What if you made it more retro. Maybe bit American pick up . Bit of Chevrolet. Or hot rod eg bit of bulge on the bonnet and curvy wings. Instead of bull bars an aggressive chrome bumper and matching wide lower grill.

Or you could go down the old land rover look

Don't mention the "B" word, it may offend someone..............

Why on earth would you want to change an Aurelia?

Because I feel in a wicked mood, I would say because people out driving would not want to be mistaken for Noddy!

Rover p5 convertible ?

But being honest. I quite like the look of the Ferrari 250 gte 2+2. Their are other variations of 2+2 but for me the 250 gte has a certain appeal. Mix of 50's and 60's styling. And a swb style nose shape.

Just scrolling through the thread and MrsWCA saw the DS / 911 mash up and said whe liked it. Preferred this bit of photoshopping.

Chris - Is it do-able and is it something you would be interested in doing?

I am sure I can find an old 911 kicking around somewhere and I know where there are a couple of DS in a barn...

Now that's one car I would like to see from Chris.

Tricky to pick the Porsche donor though. The classic ones are too expensive to cut and the moderns don't quite look right.

I will ponder further

13 Dec 2014, 7:30pm
What donor would you start from. Porsche,Citroën,beetle chassis. Or front engine rear drive bm. Maybe a lowered beetle with wings boot and bonnet removed.

Mr2 mk2,mk3. Porsche boxster. Mid engine room for a squishy bag.

A Porsche Boxter with a Citroen DS nose???

Sounds nuts but it might just turn out to be quite interesting!
14 Dec 2014, 1:17pm
I don't get it, a decent 911 from the 80s is £20k, a DS probably nearer £30k. Why would you chop one of them up to look like a frankenstein version of the other?
