MightyMike Posted August 6, 2010 Posted August 6, 2010 I've spent the last couple of months working on my Birkin that I purchased last February from Marine7 (Jason). Here are a few pics... Before: http://i37.tinypic.com/313j1ci.jpg After: http://i38.tinypic.com/21exjwz.jpg http://i33.tinypic.com/23w8nba.jpg http://i36.tinypic.com/2qujkzn.jpg Lots of visual mods - most noticeable is new paint, Enkei PF01 wheels, carbon fiber fenders, rear diffuser, mocal fuel cap, Sector 111 micro mirror, driveshaft loops and custom aluminum console, & lots of cleaning and polishing. Tonight I am installing a set of carbon fiber front carnards. Bad news is I cannot drive the Birkin or Elise because of my back brace.
MightyMike Posted August 6, 2010 Author Posted August 6, 2010 I really like my new Sector 111 micro mirror. Installation required fabrication of the mounting bracket... http://i33.tinypic.com/23qwqu.jpg

MightyMike Posted August 6, 2010 Author Posted August 6, 2010 you need me to get out of my porsche and give you a push? just kidding. looks fantastic Very funny indeed! Mike
MightyMike Posted August 6, 2010 Author Posted August 6, 2010 Kick ass! Looks great! Hope you have a speedy recovery and get back (pun) in the car soon Thanks! I have friends driving both cars up to a car show on Sunday. I get to follow them up in my Toyota Corolla.
Marine7 Posted August 6, 2010 Posted August 6, 2010 Mike, Can I have my car back? All kidding aside, you've done a fantastic job. I really like the mirrors and the center tunnel. The paint really sets it off and makes it look much more modern. Now get better and enjoy that car before the snow falls! Jason
Z3 Stalker Posted August 6, 2010 Posted August 6, 2010 MightyMike, Really like th new colour scheme, looks so rich. Stewart
twobone Posted August 6, 2010 Posted August 6, 2010 Wicked stealth colour combo. It looks like something 007 would jump into. You just need a set of .50 cal machine guns to pop out of the hood. REALLY NICE!
MightyMike Posted August 6, 2010 Author Posted August 6, 2010 Thanks everyone for the compliments. My inspiration for the work I've done on my Birkin has come from all of the awesome cars on USA7s.
DeanG Posted August 6, 2010 Posted August 6, 2010 Good luck with the car show. The car looks good. Hope you can start driving it soon.
lancylad Posted August 6, 2010 Posted August 6, 2010 Beautifull looking car Mike, get well soon and start getting some wear on those tyres...:driving:
KiwiBirkin Posted August 6, 2010 Posted August 6, 2010 Hi Mike hope your getting better. Your car looks great I really really like what you have done with it.
MightyMike Posted August 7, 2010 Author Posted August 7, 2010 Where did you get the diffuser? I bought it from Dick at Texas Motor Works. I paid $200. It is made of aluminum and the build quality is excellent.
MightyMike Posted August 7, 2010 Author Posted August 7, 2010 a couple of finishing touches... ...perforated leather shifter boot and bezel... http://i36.tinypic.com/5le3up.jpg ...awesome Seven badge crafted by KiwiBirkin http://i37.tinypic.com/m6ici.jpg
KiwiBirkin Posted August 7, 2010 Posted August 7, 2010 Mike that center console looks great is it made from ali.
