What has always puzzled me is the "crappy" way that these conversions are done.

Even on this Rolls, the vertical line between the rear door and the new add on, doesn't flow. Also the new side and rear window surrounds have no style.

Even factory built estates are not always made the correct way Rolling Eyes

take a look at the rear side doors on the Amazon =

And then see what happened to the next estate they made Rolling Eyes

guess they saved a lot of money with just one door type on all models, but the Amazon looked much better Cool
