Fake Brembo covers for your brake calipers.

I'm a bit embarrassed to say I found this in the Miata.net classifieds. :ack:

I wonder how they can get away with using the Brembo name so brazenly?

This one is my favorite: a replica of a Ferrari 612 key (http://www.sniffpetrol.com/?s=abysmal) for 150 euros! That's $225 for a fake key, sold by Ferrari themselves. At least they saw their error and took it off the market after being publicly shamed.

Isn't Caterham kind of a more expensive fake Lotus?










Let the flaming begin;)

I think these have been around for a while. They remind me of the hubcap spinners...

Mondo...your avatar is freaking me out, but freaking hilarious too.

Probably.....but I also happen to know of a Birkin with a Caterham badge on it! And there was one Caterham at LOG caught on camera with all the Caterham badges replaced with Lotus badges! Bunch of wannabees!!! :D

Hairdressers are more dangerous that Cat owners! :D



Speaking of hairdressers, is your avatar a self-portrait? What on earth were you thinking?

One in the same here. :D But I don't have any Lotus badges on my Caterham.

The badges that came with my car are a little phony since they proclaim "Caterham Super Seven" while my car is a Caterham Roadsport SV. Too many letters to get on the badge I suppose.

Is that you on the avatar? Enquiring minds want to know.

I do have Caterham seats in my Rotus .. and they do say Caterham on the headrest ... so I'm fake branded too .. But hey .. these leather seats are nice! When people say that's a Lotus .. I just agree! But when they say it's a Caterham .. I talk about the Rotus Co. :D
