No 56k: Exotics sharing parts with reasonably priced cars

[Derek]

I came across this on another forum and thought it would be worth crossposting:

The Maserati Gran Turismo shares the tail lights with a Ford Mondeo

The side mirrors on your Aston Martin Virage, they're actually from a Citroen CX.

The tail lights on an XJ220 are from a Rover 200.

The tail lights from a Lotus Esprit came off a Toyota Corolla GT

The wing mirrors from a McLaren F1 came off a Corrado.

The MG XPower has the headlamps from a Punto.

The Noble M12 has the tail lights of a Hyundai...something.

Some Callaway has the tail lights from an Opel Tigra.

Please, do feel free to make your own contribution. I do not know if they are all correct, I'll just use the excuse I didn't come up with them.

This thread shares its content with another, older one

Edit: Found it

I see what you did there!

I don't think that Mondeo Maserati one is right. The red trim is different. The bottom edge of the forn light is thicker than the rest of the border, while Maserati has an even-widthed border around the whole thing.

I know the Diablo's had 300zx headlights.

i think that the noble from the first post is M400. noble m12 has the rear lights from the mondeo mk1

You're kind of missing the joke, many of those 'pairings' don't use identical parts, just ones that are very similar.

Gotcha. Some of them are right, I think, or at least plausible enough or similar enough to some in the other thread...

Besides...not much of a "joke" if some of them were real...like the Callaway C12. And the XJ220 did use the lights, but not of the car pictured. See the link in the thread Public posted for many of these.

This thread is lame. How many possible configurations of door mirrors can you possibly have? They're all gonna start looking the same.



How about making a thread that actually shows the exotics that just steal stuff from their parent company's parts bin?

This thread is fail. How about posting some actual proof, apart from revealing how little attention you're paying?

My Land Rover has the same power steering fluid reservoir that's used on the Ford GT and I think a few Ferraris.

 

[NecroJoe]

I've used the same gas station as a Carrera GT, and an R8.

 

[Aston Martin]

The Galaxy lights are closer to the Maser.

 

[Mark355]

Now this is a cool thread. Can't believe the McF1 didn't have bespoke wing mirrors. Almost laughed out loud!

 

[GraemeH]

Lamborghini went round to the Nissan factory at night and rummaged through their discarded parts bin for the Diablo;

Found and pinched some lights from a tree-hunner-zed-ex.
