If you dress a hummer up like a bentley does that make it a Bummer? (maybe that's the driver)

Worst is when they try and fit kits from different series to a VN for example. I think I've seen some people try to put VY kits on a VN. Body kit would be worth more than the car.

i hate VL commdores with chaser/pursuit rims on the back dumped in the *** with P plates.
because its every second car.. and yea.. bentleys are bentleys.. hummers.. dont have the right to be bentleys. shows that the particular person had the money** to buy a Hummer, then get it customised to look bentley.. ish and was too stupid to realise that with the money spent on the body kit/interior probably couldve bought a freakin bentley

Looks abit like the work of the "pimp my ride" crew & like most of there work...its disgusting, Very much african american gangsta/pimp style, lucky we dont have to much of that influence on our cars here, apart from the "sex spec" thing you see everything now & then like putting 22's on a 200SX...

Would've prefered a Lamborghini Cheetah instead.
Hummer H2 with the Bentley R engine - now that would be worthwhile in the dunes |

At the end of the day what happens when your driving your replica and pull up at the lights next to the real deal? In the words of Jeremy Clarkson "It's the Automotive equivalent of standing at the urinals next to a Stallion, you'll just feel earrrgghh"

Judging by the reg plates looks like the car is somewhere in the UAE.. The tycoons there have so much money they dont know what to do with it...Bentley don't make oversized SUVs, so why not throw some bentley goodies to a hummer!!!
Not for me but it does look different!
