Title: AUTO EUROPE
Post by: CateraMV6 on 17 August 2009, 18:57:05
We have a local dealership around here that deals only with european exotic cars and they often import stuff.

Rare Porsches, tuned Minis, Bimmers, Audis, Benzes, Lotuses, and a few others.  Mostly British, German, Italan sports cars...

I stopped by to take a look at their inventory the other day and I managed to park my car where they photograph all of their cars...

Enjoy!

Thanks all, I talked to the sales rep at that place and he was more then happy to get me a few of their awesome stickers and also license plate brackets so I need to stop by and pick them up... and I will probably take some more pictures as well.

Otherwise she is looking better then ever... and she just turned 132K on the clock!...

The dealership is located north of DETROIT MI USA... in a city called Birmingham < Think thats how you spell it!

Not a bad place but as you can imagine everything is super expensive...

Audi S6 1995  for 11,000$
Ferrari 360 Modena for 130,000$ used...

So you pay premium for these rides but then again they are one off examples...

The re-badging job on my car turned out fantastic because it created a unique vehicle, which appears to be very European and uncommon and no one even suspects that it was once a Catera...

I assume the same effect could be created with re-badging an Omega as a Cadillac... people will likely associated it with a much more expensive vehicle... thats if the Cadillac brand is popular in Europe.

Now, what about your tail lights mate (I mean, the led type - they are 2 pieces each side, aren't they)? How much would they cost?  :-/ I would surely fancy those in my V6   ;)

They are difficult to replace as the entire boot lid is different but shipping can be arranged through one of the shipping companies and the lids alone are not too expensive...

Otherwise the outter ones are piece of cake to replace...

Holy break mate! Could you provide an estimate of how much i would need to fork out to be able to get these bloody tail lights including the boot lid?  :-/
