Bart's 2003 Ultima GTR
Discussion
Evening all,
I thought I may have put some pics up before of my GTR, but seems it's been dribs and drabs over time in varying threads. As such, thought it was about time I put some progress pics up of her. She's been a labor of love over the past 16 months, but it's been great to put my own touch on an already impressive package. I bought her built and set about sorting a few niggles out, then it was time for a respray - followed by wheel re-furb, Reverie Carbon intake and other accessories and then my own LED lighting and other personal touches. She's putting out about 525bhp and weighs in at around 930kg...
More importantly, some pics! Enjoy
Around a month into ownership, having removed the varying vinyl graphics and racing checker stickers
Paintshop work
I went with BMW Sepang Bronze having seen a Z4 M many moons ago in the same colour
Cue new home made carbon front splitter, wheels refurbished, front light units replaced and new LED indicators, self-made LED rear lights wired up, carbon wrapped side pods, new rear carbon wing, front mesh all replaced with newer ABS type, my own designed logos added and here we stand today after taking the wife out for a nice lunch. I've finally got all the clam shut lines sorted and the ride heights sorted - typically in time for winter!
I'll grab some engine bay pics in the garage once I've sorted a few further things, but my daily driver now has my attention with a few mods planned

Wow, was liking it in green but the new colour just works. Looks mean and different. Were you not tempted to paint it the same colour as the Maserati though?!
Until recently I also owned a Noble M12 in a very very similar colour to the Maserati, so wanted the Ultima to differ slightly

That's just awesome.
I'd love an Ultima but what are they like for room? (I'm 6' 2'' and a bit of a lump) Anyway, off to check classifieds and have a bit of a day dream. Could I get one with BMW V8 or V10 power?
There are tall people than you that have had ultimas for years and years.... there was a lowered floor pan option, I had a friend who retro fitted this as well... there are ultimo out there with BMW V10's, V12's and V8's.... rare for them to come up for sale.I'd love an Ultima but what are they like for room?

I do know of an unfinished V10 GTR thats not been worked of for quite a few years.
