    Thats because the builders and sellers are stupid. :D.

    When the "Artero" was released in the 90's it was suppose to be a Lamborghini Jalpa replica.

    Brilliant,

    Now, it is easy to find Rare Fiero interior parts.
    Thus, you can keep that car on the road.

    apart from the diamond plate, the screws and the amount of space still left in the wheel wells, it looks like it would have been hard to tell from a few metres away. at least for someone like myself who doesn't know all the ins and outs of a testarossa.

    Regarding a lot of other "replicas", I'm still asking myself why people insist on molesting fieros when the outcome isn't at least as good as this one...

    Would have been nicer if it had stayed a Mondial. :(

    All the best,

    If they would have done the roof properly id say the replica would have been perfect.

    The roof of the car is what make its fail.

    For a little more you can get a real one... And then you wouldn't have to explain why the side NACA duct doesn't lead anywhere.
