Would have looked pretty decent with the original front, smaller side steps, etc, etc, etc... | ||

Dave P Veteran Date registered: Jun 2006 Location: Ashford,UK Vehicle(s): Posts: 184 | Re: plastic surgery gone wrong If you go on to the website and, scroll down the side to Robert Jankel Design, have a look at the interior of the two 'limos', all the upholstery and trim is my younger brothers work, he was the coach trimmer for the company. I once spent a day watching them cut a Bentley in half, an interesting experience watching the owner see his brand new car being cut in half! | ||

Dave P Veteran Date registered: Jun 2006 Location: Ashford,UK Vehicle(s): Posts: 184 | Re: plastic surgery gone wrong Yes, I saw a couple of stretched Range Rover open top with hydraulic lift seats for Falcon hunting, lots of Rollers, and Bentley's with some wonderful upholstery . He also did most of the Sultan Of Brunei's fleet of limos over the years, some really weird stuff. He is now employed by a consultancy, bringing to life all the silly ideas that Audi, Porsche, and Mercedes designers can come up with, when you next get to sit in an Audi R8 or S8,that was him. They give him a set of seat frames and, a drawing of their idea, then leave him alone for 10 days or so, he makes up and sews the panels, they come back, if they like it, the seats are taken to pieces, scanned into a computer, if they want to do it a different way............it's another 10 days, all over again. If they piss him off, he will refuse to speak German, so all the discussion have to be in English..........so they know when he's pissed off ! I won't tell you what he earns but, it's lots! | ||
