Roland's car being used on EBAY!!!

So I was searching around on ebay and I saw Rolands car being used on a couple of them.

Heres the links to some of them


the first link is for an AMG style spoiler but Roland actually has the OEM C32 spoiler in that pic I believe and if you scroll down on the page the second pic of the spoiler is completely different. I decided to shoot them a little message about the different pics and using Rolands pic.

I'm not surprised that they want to use Roland's beautiful car in an ad. They should request & receive permission however.

its the right thing to do, people will buy it thinking its going to look like that but it might be a crappy spoiler that looks nothing like rollins and they get screwed over. Really doesn't sound like it would be to legit of a product if they cant get pictures of it them selfs and need to steal other peoples pictures and lie and say its there product
