10 Expensive Rides With Parts Borrowed From Cheap Cars

Just makes me regret getting those factory upgrade wheels on my trash bin… Makes it look cheap now that VW is using them.
How about the indicator- and windscree-wiper-“sticks” in the Mercedes SLR being from the Mercedes Sprinter.
1988-2000 aston martin virage used vw scirocco mk2 rear lights
Four: I guess you could say, it’s used on HELLA lot of cars
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
But the big question is … will it fit all of this on my civic ??
Should have included the FD RX-7 reverse lights also used on Koenigsegg CCXs etc
Aston martin vantage and ford transit connect side repeaters are the same
The 1997 marcos mantis uses the same tail lights of the ford mondeo 4 door saloon 1993
Audi Q2 and VW Polo rear lights are nearly same, only in Q2 they are wide a bit.
