Pimped Prius, Luxury Customized

"With a reputation for environmental performance and frugality, the Toyota Prius might not seem an obvious candidate for luxury customisation."

"However, one discerning owner has lavished thousands of pounds on giving his car a truly bespoke appearance."

Gorgeous Color and wheels

I wonder if anyone at Lexus has seen this. It might give them an idea or two for a Lexus built on the Prius chassis

The color looks almost like the 10th Anniversary Special Edition Prius from Japan... I hope they sell it here someday. http://toyota.jp/prius/anniversary/

It's a shame there aren't any more pictures or a more detailed description as to what was done with the car. All I noticed were the new wheels.

I kinda like the chrome trim on the skirts. Are there anymore photos out there? I want to see what justifies the additional £10,000

Seems a little lean compared to DocVijay's customization and thread.
