Heres my Gemballa inspired Porsche Cayenne Turbo. Its got 22 inch black rims which are spintek rims without the spinners. From a Hummer H2 come the step bars painted a matching gloss black. Inside, the main navigational screen has been replaced with a larger tv and a PS2 system is installed (controller on the seat). I plan more stuff for the interior including more tvs for the backseat, carpeting, and probably some detailing.

At first the rims where just held in place with axles put through eyebolts (an idea from this forum) but didn't steer. After working with my H2 SUT I got the idea to just remove the axles from the front end and use screws, washers, and springs to make a wheels assembly. The wheels spin and steer normally.

I can't really make out the wheel pattern, but good catch on making the wheels functional :cheers

so that's wat a spinner looks like without the spinning part

good werk...
the Cayenne seems to be a popular choice for 1:18 diecast tuners... :happy

True but that's hardly surprising seeing that 1:1 SUVs are so popular with customisers.

While I'm not a big fan of the Maisto Cayenne, your custom job looks great gafotes :nicejob :nicejob :nicejob

Thanks for the responses guys! I'm pleased everybody seems to like it. I've actually gotten a few suggestions from friends to make a trailer with black rims so the cayenne can two the matching 911 :danbanna. If I ever hook that up i'll make sure you put up some pictures.

Very nice!How did you get the step bars on there?

 

[gafotes]

The step bars were just super-glued into place on the plastic chassis. I shaved off most of the attaching pins so I could glue them nice and tight to the chassis.
