Drove my Brabus Roadster Coupe from Northampton to Munich and back again.
Loved that car, had so much fun driving it. Didn't have to go silly speeds to enjoy it.
However, it was mega unreliable and as it was my daily driver I had to get shot of it.

Just want to understand as i see these graphics quite a lot, seemingly all on black Nissan Patrols so i'm just curious why you'vhttp://www.convertiblecarmagazine.com/buyers_guide/smart-roadster/e done it?
I do like the colour scheme, green is my favourite colour.
Faster? NO.
Girls? No, I have my girl and she is more than enough for me

Right-o.

So it's just because Monster is a trendy brand and you like the colour? Gotcha

i was actually asking genuine questions.
we all know i hate stickers but having driven a few was intrigued to the claimed performance.
i did enjoy driving it. a fun little car but let down by a crap gearbox.
the dealership my friend works at do tune them but even with 120 bhp there not that fast but feel it due to sitting low down.

Yes, they can do due to the sealant under the scuttle tray. Done all the leak problems when I first bought mine. Had the whole front end off and re sealed it.
Not really a bad car to work on once you get all the plastic panels off.
Done mine a few times now, both front and rear and it doesn't take me long at all now.

Great thread, bit of photoshop for the stickers and no wild claims and this would have been in Other Marques and dead seconds after it was posted. Now the OP is a liar with bad taste and the estimating skills of a fisherman.

I like the the Coupe, not for any good reason, just funky looking.

It does look very gay with the lime green wheels and stickers, but if you had RedBull Energy stickers and blue/red wheels, then I think that would have looked so much better...

And everyone is entitled to a opinion tubbytommy, but it's true.
Maybe one day I can show you, and this is no joke, it might add a sec on to the time with you as a passenger, because believe me, in this little thing every bit of weight saving helps.
Lol you've not seen tommy have you, you would be lucky to hit 60mph with that fat **** sat in it.

I love scooby net for comments like this, clearly the mods don't care anymore.

The car looked better before the wheels were painted and stickers added.

I am getting my shotgun out of the gunsafe as I type this. Is your name Ken by any chance as you'd look right at home sat next to Barbie in that monstrosity of a car. The new shape looks even worse and I saw one in metallic brown a couple of weeks back.
