Everyone knows the 300zx headlights on the Diablo. Everyone knows about the McLaren F1 taillights from a bus. Fewer people know about the Mazda 323 lights on the DB7. Whats the most dubious parts whoring?

BmanUltima's car still hasn't been fixed yet, he'll get on it tomorrow, honest. > mkbruin, Atlas VP 04/21/2016 at 15:06

300ZX Headlights on the EB110?

An entire Ford Mondeo being passed off as a Jaguar?

I think every GM car from 1992 to 2002 had the same radio.

This is more of a using up extra parts thing, but I love how they just went fuck it, let's stick Oldsmobile Alero headlights on UPS trucks

And the Noble M12 GTO had the same tail lights as a Ford Mondeo.

Never would have guessed that. Impressive. At least they hid it a bit.

Another Mazda - DB7 gem. The door handles are from the NA Miata.

Poor X type, if ford had just kept the contour name and added a contour X type as some sort of high special end version trim everyone would have thought the damn car was awesome(except for the transfer case).

And it doesn’t stop there. The dials in the Zonda is a more luxurious version of the dials from a basic, 90's Lancia (Ypsilon)

I wonder who made the first step on that one.

UPS: “Hey, shame about the Oldsmobile thing... You using those headlights?”

—-

GM: “You ordered HOW MANY!???! Christ.... Um, you know what, I’ve got a guy at UPS who owes me a favor. I can take care of this.”

I seem to recall some boutique supercar marque, British IIRC, that used Passat tails, but disguised it by rotating them 90 degrees.
