I want to show people what the greatest Pinoy (Filipino) body kit maker has made - an M5 looking car out of a Nissan Cefiro or Maxima (in the U.S.) The image is in my website www.bmwforum.ph.

The body M5 body kit has transformed an ordinary looking 1997 Nissan Cefiro into one of the meanest beast on the street. This kit was made and designed by Atoy Llave, my good friend and the crowned king of Philippine Automotive scene. Atoy who is a creative genius when it comes to body kits in the Philippines and with the help of his talented and skilled master body kit makers has created something no one has never done - an M5 looking car on his own backyard. And not only that, the car was entered in numerous car shows in the Philippines and has garnered numerous awards with all best and first place finishes in different categories. This means that the car was positively accepted not only by show-goers, but officials, and show organizers for his ingenuity, creativity, and skill in body design.

As expected after several shows and being noticed by BMW officials in the Philippines he was gentlemanly given a letter from BMW, AG lawyers, informing him that he cannot produce another kit that will make a non-BMW CAR look like a real BMW.

I just came back from his shop and saw his latest creation - a yellow PORSCHE 550 with a modified front one-piece spoiler which used to be an old VW Beetle. What I liked about the car was the interior leather and lether seats were made out of the Louis Vuitton monograms in multi-colors of blue, pink, yellow, green, etc. like those found in the real bag. Now, I'm sure if Paris Hilton saw one, she would defenitely want that car!

 

Looks pretty good,any side shots of the car?

 

whats the point...?
looks flawless from the pictures linked above but no respect whatsoever.

Sorry mate but i was being a little sarcastic...

 

You can give them some credits mate,they do what they can.

 

You guys don't f**k around when it's time to customize stuff.

 

I think being an M5 owner and friend of Atoy, they can say all the negative things they want. But for BMW to send you a letter. Then you must have made a good copy. He told me he copied even the measurements from front to end.

I think he was also asked to remove the BMW badge on the hood.

 

looks clean

 

yeah, though it's not the real thing, finish is extremely well done.

 

I can appreciate the craftsmanship and ingenuity, but that's about it.
