umm.. doesn't it look like a photoshop job?

the car appears to have moved sides between the two pics, or are my eyes lying to me?

edit: and why are the rocks showing through the plastic bumper down at the pas side wheel (or are they reflections)?

That said I refuse to read the Mail, I got so sick of them whinging, bitching and moaning about everyone and everything about 10 years back so stopped reading it, such a negative rag.

For me it's the lack of shadows under the front of the rear tyre that makes it obvious.

Oh and the obvious door boob

Wel l- the door thing can be explained by the hole getting bigger. Looking at the surroundings suggest this.

(I'm not disagreeing, just playing Devils Advocate)
