World's fastest cabrio?
 
ALL SHOW & EVEN MORE GO, WHO SAID I CAN'T HAVE IT ALL...

After 3 years of evolution I finally reached my performance goals. I wish to share my experiences with this build and hopefully inspire more cabrio owners to push the limits of this great little car. Top Down Motoring can be fun and fast as well...

Thanks:thumbsup:

It's actually a rear wing that I designed myself for the cabrio because it never came with one. It also fits and looks great on the coupe as a second wing.

BTW Guido got snowed in in New York He'll be back by the end of the week.

Veeery nice!! Your engine compartment is beautiful.

The fender flares look really tasty. How much wider than stock did they allow you to go?

Manufactured by MHW Gmbh, but customized to fit the aerokit, I believe.
