    as far as i know Harmann position their 'Logo' the same on all these models.
    bonnent badge : centre of bonnet as per original etc errr where else would a windscreen sticker go? (!)
    cars brand new awaiting private plates
    the shiny dot - do you mean the is screw head! doubt if they would put that fitting, in a different place on all cars!

    So similar that there was an identical light source causing the exact same reflections?

    Can I be the first person to say "OWNED" :D

    Do Hamann also put the reflections in the same place to?

    I guess the angle was a coincidence and the wheels just happen to land exactly in the same place as evidenced by the wheel bolts.

    Definitely the same car. Why try to have us on like that? What's the point?

    At 28mm, f/2.8 you wouldn't get the rear of the car in focus to the extent it is and the "trees" out of focus to the extent they are. It's definitely a photoshop blur effect.

    There are several telling clues in the image that have already been pointed out and the more you look, the more can be found. I noticed everywhere that in the original image there is a complex reflection, in the "real photo" it's very dark. The roofline has been affected by the blur of the "trees" too. This would happen because the blur has to use surrounding pixels, and this means the roof ends up mixed in with the "trees". Hence the poor definition of the roof line. Effects with genuine depth of field don't show this sort of artifact.

    As for a low camera angle, the car wouldn't appear "squashed" with a low camera angle - what you would see is a foreshortening of the bonnet.

    Fraud!

    Don't delete it unless you absolutely have to - it should be left for all to see.

    Sure, as i wrote in the 1st post i asked permission to post that pic. However, i doubt if permission to post further images would be forthcoming. Theres no need to call people 'nob' etc simply because they have their own opinion about something / or they earn a a lot of money. Even if it was meant in 'humour'. I always say 'Each To His Own'.
