This is a mod I made of Lego City set 8402 Sports Car. I got this set a while ago for my lego town, but was not pleased with the car's overall look. I thought the vehicle must have been meant to look like something like a bentley; because of the long, high up hood on the car, and the minifig who is wearing a dinner jacket, and looks like the kind of wealthy person that would buy this car. What I did not like about this set though, was how far the front of the car stuck out- it was longer than the back! And also, it looked cheap with that white brick behind the grille. Obviously made by Lego with low-cost in mind, but I wanted to make mine better. I set out to make it look like a proper, dynamic looking sports car, like a mazda or a ferrari, so I lowered the front, added some sporty looking vehicle parts, and here it is! I used very little extra parts on making this set; some extra red plates, a pecie for the roll bar and the exhaust peice to name some of them, but i'm sure many vehicle builders would have those bricks at home. Anyway i am satisfied with the end result of this mod and i'd like to know what people think, is it better? Please rate and comment...
Cheers, Kyle.
Great mod dude! Could you post instructions or at least pictures of parts taken off? I'm trying to build minifig-scale cars and I'm having a mental block, if you know what I mean. Thanks.
