This is wrong on so many levels:

"Australian car customizer Custom Automotive Restyling has created a rebodied Mazda MX-5 Miata designed to look like an Aston Martin."

wrong link. i'm curious.  ive seen this before - ferrari bodied toyota MR2 kit -

http://hometown.aol.co.uk/curld7/myhomepage/auto.html

they even converted to the slotted shifter.  looks good imo, just as long as you heavily mod/boost the 3sgte motor.  350-400 whp in an MR2 with its light weight and midship engine configuration is more than enough to keep up with the big boys... since you cant just look the part..

The MR2 is ridiculous.  I wonder how much he put into it?
The Miata is a lot less convincing though...  

the Miata looks pretty neat although it's not quite right
the MR2 looks pretty good, almost like a real Ferrari  

that miata isn't going to fool anyone

haha, word.. honey, i shrunk the aston martin...

the ferrari MR2 was actually produced as a kit. not that much money for just the body kit, but ive seen people get real ferrari emblems, shifters, headlights, taillights, wheels, etc.  but im guessing genuine Ferrari parts dont come cheap.
