Updated pics. Spats half finished, Bumpers on, now need to find some rusty old spotlights to give it some character.Need to find some vintage wires,
maybe a cord from an old iron or something.

Thanks for the tip, but I plan to keep the Smart Car tyres on and get them whitewalled. Canterbury tyre and mag wheel centre can white wall them any
size you like for $45 each. The Smart tyres give me plenty of clearance to the headlight buckets and they get the car nice and low. They stop really
well in the wet too.

Its the front tyre that is used on the Smart Car that Merecedes Benz make. The tyre is a Continental 145/65. 15 They are great on slammed bugs cause
they are VERY low profile and pretty narrow in the side wall, so they wont rub on anything. Most people only run them on the front, but I run them on
the rear too, so I only have to drop the rear 2 outer notches, and its on its guts. Great handling tyre too.

Looking frickin' mad! You're making me take a liking to the spats, that's for sure..
wow, you running the conti's front and rear!? Did you get a taller final drive ratio for compensate for the reduced rolling diameter? And
did you get your speedo recalibrated? I'm running the Conti's on the front too - love em..
...and Robert's ya father's brother...
