vauxhall calibra Mercedes

[N7OGP]

 

[Palmball]

Well, it looked OK until I saw the design of the exhaust pipe which is very poorly finished compared to the quality of the rest of the design!

 

[Michael G]

That is diabolical that's putting it nicely.
Look at the nearside bonnet shut line around the headlight!!

I do not know whether to laugh or cry.

 

[whitenemesis]

Clever! Better/bigger wheels would help as would twin exhausts

 

[bpsorrel]

Oh my God!!!! But, actually, doesn't the Calibra lend itself quite well to the MB look!

 

[mbenz76]

Why would you do that though!? That's what I don't understand!

 

[JasM]

That looks terrible.

 

[verytalldave]

no no no

Same here. Why?

Is it April 1st already!!!

 

[matt17081]

someone has spent quite a lot of time on this, but i have one question.
WHY ?

I agree. Against the usual barry boy examples that's not too bad. Some of the finishing is not quite right, as previously mentioned the exhaust looks more suited to a Transit van.

I think it looks like a very good conversion - I would probably pass it by without a second glance and just assume it WAS a Merc .

 

[moonloops]

Not enough rust for it to be a real Merc

 

[Bobby Dazzler]

Not sure whether to describe the Calibra as handsome or beautiful - definitely advanced aerodynamically compared to it's contemporaries though.

The same cannot be said about that monster though!!

 

[renault12ts]

It looks good. Great expertise out there. The bonnet needs fettling, but otherwise hard to fault.

 

[Will]

Anyone like the 'quarter lights'?

That's exactly what I thought when I first saw it - then I looked a bit closer and the Calibra roots were poking through! Funnily enough, the Calibra is one of the better looking Opel/Vauxhall products over the years IMO and that's probably why it doesn't look completely wrong! But, I agree with everyone - why??? (If I had a Calibra I'd try to make it the coolest looking CALIBRA - after all, why pretend to be a rusty car? )
