... let that not once have been a real F40:
(from autobild 'worst tuning mishaps', http://www.autobild.de/bilder/bilde...de/artikel/tuning-suenden-update--986638.html)
No worries, it's a replica. For example, the hood is too tall at the front wheel arch to accommodate the front I4 engine.

More likely the University of Arkansas sports program. It's a pretty good replica of their mascot namesake, the Razorback. And, honestly, as a representative of redneck football culture, it's very good quality. On a redneck sliding scale, it might be worthy of the Awesome Thread.

If somebody ordered me to do something so horrid, I'd shoot the customer in the face. Twice to make sure.

I can kind of understand that, if they're in a country where Mercedes theft ownership is endemic. At least you'll be able to find your car in the parking lot. This also seems to apply on Planet California, where silver CLSes blend in to the background.
I love it when the butchers said:
So the owner has special needs. That's a nice way of saying the owner's a retard.

There aren't enough of these for all of us^^ In fact, I've only seen these right after they came out, they seemed to disappear very fast, maybe many of them were converted to one-tone?
If I remember correctly, a lot were given away by a fast food company, so the owners didn't chose the color scheme...
"Herstellerfarbbezeichnung:
Blau-Gr?n-Gelb-Rot"
:lol:

If you're going to go full-retard on the exterior then you may as well retrim the interior to match. Reading that thread apparently the car was painted like that to ward off evil.

There's this one VW dealership in Lisbon which had one for the longest time in their used car section. At one point, I think they stopped trying to sell it, and just parked it outside. :lol:
And speaking of VW:

Thats how they were made originally
Volkswagen originally created the Design series to tour at International Auto shows. Due to the huge public response of the original four Design series, 60 more were produced. Eventually, 264 were made and offered in 1996, exclusively in the North American market.
Based on the 1996 Golf GL platform, the Harlequin model included: limited edition Harlequin paint scheme, limited edition Harlequin sport cloth seats, and silver-faced gauges. They were offered with several different wheel options.
One of the rarest VWs ever produced, the Harlequins were produced by swapping the body panels of four different colored Golfs. They are usually designated by their base color (the color of the car with no body panels attached). The base color is not repeated on any of the other body parts.

So there was a Golf too? Never saw one of these 
And it seems they kept the same Color Combinations for the Polo^^
But I just can't believe they swapped panels, the body and the panels are painted separately, right? So why shouldn't they just screw the yellow bumper to the red car right from the start?

I actually never knew there was a Polo until now.

Seems like they were just about 20 Polos for car shows at first, not meant to be sold, an the Colors were a bit different...
As people really liked the Harlekin (<-- no typo, but german ^^) and even a few were painted that way (not by VW), VW decided in '94 to put 1.000 Herlekins into Production
So the Polo is the Ur-Herlekin / Harlequin and the Golf followed
