he was also a member on PUK I think..
Guy called Dave Shaw?

All car headlights probably come from the same factory in China these days, just with a different sticker on them to justify the higher price tag

Yes, sadly I remember when that particular bubble burst for me - I walked up to a DB7 and saw it had Ford Transit locks.

Years ago, when they were just launched, I went underneath one of these chav mobiles on a ramp during a RR dealer open day;

All I could see was a swathe of VW and Audi logo's on EVERYTHING - literally, all the parts...
If you'd been taken under there blind, you'd swear you were under a Passat or an A6!

...and then there's R/R 'unique' hydrolatic 'spension, and 'Handmade' radiators on shadows.

I still remember stripping down a Ferrari 355 we were repairing about 15 years ago, an awful lot of the parts were stamped with Fiat.

I don't see other manufacture parts on a car being an issue. We all know fiat/chrlysler own most of ferrariand the vag group own lambo, bently, seat, vw, audi and a few others.

Same with mazda/ford/jag/land rover.
