This is one of those cars that's always put a smile on my face, since day one. Bobby purchased this car brand new off Schaeffer BMW's show room floor over two years ago, and within a week it was caged, gutted, had racing seats, coilovers and a slew of bolt-on modifications. 1,200 miles on it, and it started hitting track days.

Shortly after, Bobby started working with John at CCW on wheel fitment. In the process of fitting the widest wheel and tire combination possible, Bobby rolled his fenders one night at the shop. While I was watching, Bobby looked at the fender and said; "Hmmm... A carbon fiber widebody would be much cooler..."

If you know Bobby, you know what this means; it's happening.

Shortly there after, the car was stripped and was on Bobby's trailer heading across the nation to get done.

Almost two years later, the car is at its new stage, and looking absolutely fantastic. It now weighs around 2,000lbs+/-, has over 500hp and 500ftlbs, and is ready to get it done on track. Of course, Bobby has fabricated almost every part on this car.

I'll let the pictures simply speak for themselves. While looking at these pictures, remember that there is no longer one metal exterior panel on this car, it's all carbon fiber, the work looks incredible...

A few shots I took today while professional photographer Kyle McManus was working on his material (mind you, I'm no professional, this is the best I could do with my $200.00 camera, haha)...







Super pissed 135i...

 

What a waste it looks stupid. It looks like molded in Rancho fender flares. But to each is his own

 

sick!

 

It was done for function, form was secondary. But it is aesthetically radical, so I understand what you're saying.

Personally, I think it's incredible. I love it.

 

That's awesome work.

 

It's like aesthetically nuts and not my style. But man you can't deny the bad assness of that ride. I would love to watch that on a track!!!! congrats dude!

 

lmao thats so badass.

shots under the hood? 500/500 on a tt i6 right?

get an accelerometer in there and tell us how many gs it pulls (to shut up haters)

 

The fenders are pretty extreme, almost cartoonish looking but as stated, form follows function. Amazing workmanship though, any vids of it in action?

 

Hmm...interesting at the least. Not nearly as sexy or as cost/benefit compelling as a race prepped C5 or probably even a C6, but "to each his own."

 

Holy ****! Boy, they didn't *** around! Veddy veddy nise!! Veddy Nise!!

 

That's awesome!

 

It looks like it was done incredibly well, but I think if the flares had a little less dramatic transition back into the body work it would have looked better, but asthetics are a personal preference.

What transmission is in the car? I'm hoping it's a sequential manual gearbox.

 

very cool.

 

That's amazing you were able to get it down to 2000lbs. Looks well put together!

 

That has to be a fun ride around the track!

 

a lot of hard work...not a very aesthetically pleasing result.

 

Not a fan but if thats what youre into then cool

 

it looks good but from the side view it looks short lol

 

not my taste by any means, but looks like top notch work

 

how much to buy lol
