Even though it is apparent that the Chinese automaker Shuanghuan was heavily inspired from the previous generation BMW X5 when designing the SCEO SUV, it would have been a bit too inappropriate -even for their standards- to blatantly imitate bimmer’s characteristic double-kidney grille and badgetry.

When it comes to private owners however, that’s another story. This Chinese driver decided to complete Shuanghuan’s work by adding a BMW grille along with a set of logos on the body and the wheels and presto; a near to perfect imitation of the X5 at a fraction of the price. -More images after the jump

    BMW Badges: $45 each

    Masking Tape: $1.90

    Caulk: $8.90

    Convincing your friends you're more of a chump then they first suspected? Priceress.

    There's some things money can't buy. For everything else, there's masking tape.

    I think it was intentional - either way, you've just made my day! :)

    BTW The X5 is lubbish anyway - why bother to imitate it? Ever heard the phrase "more useless than an imitation turd?" No? Guess it sums up the CCP...
