	ROME (Reuters) - Italians are used to buying bogus Gucci bags or Rolex watches to look stylish but police found a new height of craftsmanship and cunning when they broke up a ring selling fake Ferrari cars for a fraction of the real price. Car body workers who police called "very able" cobbled together mostly fake parts and a few original components. They used body parts from other makes of automobiles, such as chassis, roofs, hoods, trunks and doors.

There seems to be no limit to the ingenuity of the criminal mind!

Best of all if you drop in a VG30DETT, or a turbo KLZE (JDM Mazda MX-6 engine) not only will it be as fast with mods but it will sound almost like one.

Could you imagine a 365GTB with a blower sticking up out of the hood, would turn a few heads at lights, and you wouldn't feel so bad for violating an original.

There's some nice F50 replicas floating around in this country. Mostly DIY projects, so not organised crime, and very good replicas too!
