I think the words "copy, fake, Clone, replica, tribute, look-a-like" are all about the same but some just sound better than others. A clone is your own version of a car that was made by a famous aftermarket car co. If you want to make a "Clone" of it for your own use, then you have the right to do so. If your paint is the same then I can not see where that would be a problem as long as you acknowledge that it is a "copy" and not a "real" ?X?X? car.
I think that you could get into problems if you then sold it or went into business selling a car that looks like yours and that was a copy of say a BM car. As long as it is just for your own pleasure that is fine but don't sell it with out changing the paint so that it is not a actual copy and of course you are not foolish enough to try to advertize it as a actual car. What you do for your own use is your business in my opinion.
And of course the guys on here would expose you in a heartbeat. So like everyone that comes on this forum that plays fair and honest you will find yourself welcome and you will find they are a great bunch of guys. Liars and cheats or god forbid a "Dam Fool" is gonna get slammed and they deserve it IMHO.
BTW:I like the way you approached the members of the forum on the subject so from my house = "WELCOME"..! and we want pic's.... ASAP.
