MightyMike Posted August 6, 2010 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MightyMike Posted August 6, 2010 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marine7 Posted August 6, 2010 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twobone Posted August 6, 2010 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MightyMike Posted August 6, 2010 Author Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MightyMike Posted August 7, 2010 Author Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
