BMW 3-Series Modification - E36 Convert to E46 Body Kit

At one glance, you would think this is a BMW 3-Series E46. However, upon closer inspection, this appears to be a BMW 3-series E36 modified and converted to a E46 look. This conversions is so comprehensive, it literally had the whole E46 front bonnet, fenders, headlamp, and bumpers replacing the E36's squarish body parts. The rear of this E36 is also fully converted to a E46's; from the E46 tail lights, bumpers and an E46 generation AC-Schnitzer ducktail spoiler. From the side though, you could clearly tell that it is a E36, as the squarish profile remains unchanged. I personally feel that if he wanted an E46 so badly, he could have just sold his E36 and use the modification fund to buy a real E46 3-series. Maybe he wants to be different? What do you guys think?

MK7 Volkswagen Golf (AJK8033) in Cloned Car Case Abandoned in Kota Damansara?

Abandoned cars up for grabs? Apparently this one is a spanking good looking red Volkswagen Golf MK7, not some old beat up junk. One would wonder why would such a nice car be abandoned if it were not a stolen car used for high speed getaways. What is even more worrying is that these cars may have been resold or re-purposed, somehow acquiring roadtaxes or legitimate number plates.

One of our dear readers, Mat Cendana reported that there was a red MK7 Volkswagen Golf that looks strikingly similar to the one involved in the AJK8033 Volkswagen Golf cloned and duplicated number plate case.

Great that you have written a post about this. It also offers me the opportunity to add the following. There was a red VW, almost similar to the one on the left, that was left abandoned off Jalan Camar, Kota Damansara leading to the Villa Damansara/Sierra Damanasara housing area: http://s1294.photobucket.com/user/MatCendana/media/Social%20Media/VW1_zps5f4e003b.jpg.html It was left there from early this month, if I'm not mistaken, and only taken away some days ago. I had suspected that it might have been involved in a crime and was abandoned there, with the number plates taken off. I'm surprised the residents' associations here and the authorities didn't do anything immediately, until last week. Is this the same one as in your picture? If it isn't, then I'd bet there are a number of other similar VWs, and that there is an organised syndicate using this tactic of multiple number plates. The media and authorities need to investigate how serious this problem is, and who are involved. - Mat Cendana.

Volkswagen Golf (AJK8033) Cloned & Duplicated Car Plates Caught - Hanky Panky in JPJ?

2 Volkswagen Golfs, both bearing the number plate AJK8033 was shown together in a picture that has gone viral on social media. The first Volkswagen Golf with the AJK 8033 number plate is the newer MK7, while the dark red Volkswagen Golf appears to be an MK5, How could 2 cars, both Volkswagen Golf bear the same number plate AJK8033? My take on this is that one of the car is a Singapore deregistered car, that has been shipped to Malaysia as "for spare part use". Some hanky panky or loophole in the JPJ enabled the car to be registered as a "cloned car".
