I didn't use the LTA tool

I was looking at both the door handles, those are the parts that are difficult to change/disguise 

not impossible but expensive

I saw a fake mayback just now

explained to my wife how to tell a genuine one from a fake one as we overtook it

Pal, you not hao lian but I 退步 liao. Having seen many Honda N-Van on the road recently, I can only recall Acty and Hijet, whereas Suzuki skip my mind totally when I was staring at that "Kombi". 😅 Good observation on the door handles. I identified the donor through line on the side panel subsequently.

Fake Maybach is an easy catch 'cos there is no way to add a quart window on the C pillar. But if C&C decided to bring in the India's version of E-class, that will be a different story, as all modern Mercedes have almost the same face and butt, just different length (and width).

Nope, not Aston Martin but Citroen and Peugeot, albeit the 1st gen Aygo.

One of my ex-colleague had the 107 and it is what I call the modernized Milo tin, with 2 sheets of metal banging into each other.

Sorry, I didn't make it clear in my earlier post. India and China are the only 2 countries to have the E-Class in LWB form, and the quart window differentiate them from the standard Wheelbase variant. The photo I attached in my previous post is actually the Chinese version in LHD, whereas India is in RHD.

If E180 can sell in Singapore, the E200 LWB will be a hit here and I guess many would also spend a few extra dollar to get a Maybach badge + S580 or S680 emblem from taobao. Cheap thrill and why not (just have to make sure you don't park next to the real McCoy).

These LWB C or E Class are either Made in India[RHD] or China[LHD],not Made in Germany.

LWB. Makes sense.

It certainly looks attractive although I don't know from a mechanical pov how it affects driving and performance.

Also wonder if the LWB chasis is very similar to the Maybach one?

It is just a stretch C or E.

Maybach might be similar to LWB S

Haha ya, I guess a stretched E class is nowhere near a S chassis
