Strange Frontera Mod by montrehomme on Fri Mar 08, 2013 7:38 pm
I was looking through Frontys on our local French website, and came across this.....

Looks like a Mercedes bonnet!, adds a touch of class perhaps, what do you reckon?

Not my cup of tea either, but thought it showed a little ingenuity, a real 'Marmite' one I think :D

Looks like a Merc front bumper and re-worked wing tips too...

Interesting idea when you are lacking spares for the original turn signals or the headlights...
Mercedes parts are more easy to get.

But it looks quite poor. Even the star is missing, so the driver's view is not changed really... :sick:
Kind regards,
Ian

Sorry for my pigeonenglish.

That crossed my mind Rich, look where the wing and indicator area merges.

It's not a photo shop job it's actually FOR SALE, I think any prospective buyer would be seriously miffed if they turned up and it looked different :shock:
mind you, I don't think there'll be much of a queue!

Here's the original advert link

And Yes, Fronteras' fetch BIG MONEY over here :D

Re: Strange Frontera Mod by gregster on Sun Mar 10, 2013 12:25 am
I thought it might be photoshopped when I saw a piccie of that car a while back...but in fairness I dont think it is possible in photoshop to make such an awful transition on the flare of the front wings...transistions that are that mishapen can only be created out of inch deep filler or by colliding with a lorry, tree or motorway bridge.
9/10 for originality, but sadly 2/10 for the effect it achieved and implentation...

Also the vent in the bonnet directly above the fuse box might lead to some electrical gremlins...
unless its a fake vent, in which case its owner/creator should be beaten repeatedly for lowering the tone of a fronty to that of a chavved up saxo/corsa/206.
Check out the index thread below where pics/reviews from all our past meets can be found!!!!
click here for the SE Events Index/links Thread...see all the reviews and whats coming up soon!

Looks like I'm in trouble with the Mrs's again...
She asked me what I'd most like to do to her body...
Apparently "Identify it" is not the correct answer!

:shock: nearly 6 grand sterling for a 2.3 :sick:
I may convert mine to LHD :thumbup: :lol:

Looking at the other pictures it looks like the paint work is blemished where they have altered the wing for the indicators, maybe its not good workmanship?

You beat me Greg :lol:

Re: Strange Frontera Mod by montrehomme on Sun Mar 10, 2013 1:18 am
I agree, poor blending work on the wings :(

No need to convert to left hand drive either Drift!, the 'Hunters' buy the 4x4's here, and couldn't care less
what side the wheel is on, prices for off roaders are so inflated, that my 2.2 2001 would easily fetch
between €4,000 - €8,000 even in right hand drive form, depending on who views it :shock:

Madness but not uncommon!
