\nRight, so this isn’t really a Rolls-Royce. We know, we know — you thought it was. And that’s understandable. But no, it’s a fake, a phony, a fraud, etc. And with the owner spending at least, say, $3,000 to turn an old Mercedes-Benz E-Class into a Roller, we understand why you were duped. We aren’t surprised, however, that this car exists in a former Soviet Bloc country (supposedly Kazakhstan).<\/p>\n

All joking\/sardonic comments aside, we always wonder why people bother with stunts like this. The other day we saw a BMW E39 525i with a M5 badge. Now, the only people that will be impressed by an M5 badge are the exact same people who will notice that the E39 is missing the requisite four tail pipes. So, who exactly are they fooling, besides themselves? This Phantom conversion’s one redeeming quality is that the finished product (somehow) looks pretty good. Make the jump to watch the video<\/a>. A tip of the Kalpak to Pasi for the tip!<\/em><\/p>\n
