Don't shoot yourself just yet John, there is lots more to come, so just to keep you going in the meantime here is one more, just for you.

Nice work the car looks fantastic!

Orange is a great choice of colour for a special..

Only a personal perspective, but on an orange car the "big reds" don't quite work for me, I think they would look great matched to the black mirrors, as long as the new owner is happy!

It will be available direct from Ninemeister JP as a complete kit or as an upgrade for customers who already have a KW Variant 3 package. Since we're all suffering from a vitamin D shortfall I guess we should also arrange a trip to the sunshine to fit it for you?

Interesting comment on the red brake calipers because one of my favourite aspects of the 9m orange is how well it works against the red deck and rear lights. The jury is still out on the black mirrors....

probably the only person/shop that could put that in writing...and not have it sound pompus or arrogant.


Lottery winning build IMHO. Soon as my numbers come in, I'll call. Note...won't be a Speedster though...but a GT2 tribute in that color.

Maybe it looks different in the metal!

The main orange part looks incredible though!

The car has a few things going on, red calipers, black mirrors/door handles and silver contrast to the bumper vents... The "extras" just leapt out of the picture.

I would like to add, I am typing this wearing Jeans and a black T shirt, I have absolutely no idea about colours in the real world!

The black trim is great, as are the other touches. The package shows how innovative 9M is; and the package is beautiful.

What color is planned for the wheel centers?
Black would work well with the mirrors

We're thinking traditional satin black for the wheels.

Thanks Sid.

This build is intended to be a small diversion from the normal, hence we are trying things on the car that may or may not work well, like the black mirrors and door handles. This statement will also be true for the interior trim where again some things might look awesome, others might be a train crash. The truth is that we just won't know until it all comes together, so that's our plan: try everything and keep the bits that work. That said, it's definitely staying orange as we love the colour already.

I love it all*!!! Good job NineMeister team. Can't wait to see what the interior looks like.


*except the silver fog lights... Not really sure how that ties into the overall theme. Perhaps black to match the door handles and mirrors?

The project stalled for a few weeks whilst we were waiting on the delivery of the interior and our new prototype 9m-KW 993 HLS Suspension package. For those of you who do not know the KW product, this is their high-low system which raises the car by 35mm at the touch of a button to clear those pesky speed bumps. Naturally there will be more information on this later once we have the hydraulics installed.
This sounds just what me needs! So where is the location of the compressor that runs the system and how big is it?

And WOW that speedster looks fantastic!

Thought that you spike your interest. Naturally I'd prefer to supply the full package, we need to work out the details first so give me and Marc a few weeks to get ourselves organised and let's see what works best. As for the cats, I seriously doubt that you need to wind them up.
