look like a complete photoshop to me and the front grill is wrong for a facelift.

Why would they even bother?

Reality Bites · 7 Nov 2006 at 17:56

didn't think they did them in an 06?

thought they stopped at 05/55?

Could be a late registered car.

not sure why they'd bother to photoshop a car that they are trying to sell

agw_01 · 7 Nov 2006 at 18:05

330CI money.

The photo is of such a low quality that it's impossible to tell if it's 'shopped. I'm in the, 'why would they bother', camp

That photo has been really messed with.

Who would pay 15k for that, thats one hell of a chunk of cash for a rover, you can get pre reg 2.2cdti accord for that money or a nice 3 / 5 series!

Yep, the front wheel & front end look wierd. Looks as though the car was pasted into that background too.

I think you are being paranoid :confused:

Why would they do that? They are a reputable dealer by the looks of it and anyone buying the car would see it in the flesh before paying for it.

The trees on the refelection of the car are bare twigs.

The trees next to it are anything but.

The shadows are all wrong also.

The picture doesn't look right to me. Great cars, but I'd buy one from a garage that I test drove, not from ebay. Buying cars from ebay (on sale as seen on the internet) is a mental way to buy a car imo.

The clone brush has been used on the front left corner of the bumper.

All of the reflections are wrong, and the front wheel looks really weird at the bottom.

You do visit the car and test drive it, when you buy a car from ebay...
