Problem with my orange SMS car...

[WickedV]

I was able to buy one of those SMS Vipers at a fair price, but there are a couple of parts missing.
It misses the third brake light that goes into the trunk license plate area.
Also, the side panels of the rear wing seem to be missing...
Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Hmm.....
Can you post some pictures.

It's hard to tell what to do, and maybe you have a look-alike.

Hey....
And, can you send me some pictures of the Chereau AutoArt

 

[WickedV]

I don't have recent pictures yet, so the ones that are in the auction will have to do for now..

The car has the diamonds, so I think it's an original SMS.
As for the rear wing, it isn't attached to the car anymore, but I do have it.
The side panels with the Multiplast sponsoring are missing though.

Hmmm...
Seems like you indeed have an original car.
The rear wing is quite easy to re-attach. I sent one to Baz, and unfortunatly packed it too well, causing the spoiler to come off.
He reattached it with some quickglue (secondenlijm )

Just looked at the auction...
Why did I miss it? Only 4 EURO`S??????
THAT IS INSANE!!!! Lucky )(_%%&sterd....

So does anybody know were I can get that third brake light or something that looks like it? (Perhaps a donor car?)
ViperArry, can you tell me what material the side panels are made of? Plastic or metal?
Also, could you give me the dimensions of the side panel and decal?
I'm going to try and reconstruct them myself.

 

[ViperArry]

Wicked,

I will help you to reconstruct the sidepanels.....

Will post some pictures of them with dimensions.
But.... I'm very very busy. Do you need them soon?

No, take your time, I'm quite busy at the moment too. I'm already glad a couple of people have volunteered to help me.
Maybe you could hold a piece of paper against the side panel, draw off the boarders with a pencil and scan it, that way I have a perfect pattern to work with.
Thanks!

Does anyone still have the article about the 1:1 version where the text can be read? Last time I heard from it I think it was located in The Netherlands but not sure.

 

[ViperArry]

The yellow car was located in the Netherlands, a guy named Michiel Campagne, a CEO owned it.

The orange car is in Switzerland for many years now. I think it was recently sold trough www.dreamcars.ch

Curious when we will see it again......

The newspaper articles are on my home HD, I will email them to you.

 

[InjectTheVenom]

Would be cool if we could locate the yellow one.

 

[DodgeViper01]

What a deal you got. Original or not, that was a good buy.
