Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder

Hi Guys,

Let me introduce you my Gallardo Spyder. Basically it is the Fujimi kit, just cut the roof off and modified this and there a bit. I painted it Duplicolor Bright Yellow, the interior is black and yellow. I used some carpet material in the interior too. Everything else is box stock.

Here comes the pics, comments and criticism welcome:

Thanks for watching!

Looks nice!

Sweet, looks like the wheels that come with the kit are pretty nice quality.

Nice and clean!

Beautiful! Nice work with the roof and the color is great!

Beautiful, thats my dream car. Color option 2.

Thanks Guys!

Looks fantastic! I'd be happy to see slightly larger pictures though.

Looking good!

Amazing! I've been waiting for Fujimi to come out with a Spyder kit, but it looks like the wait is over:) So how did you cut the roof off? And what other mods did you have to make??

WoopWoop! Nice!

Good work!

Thanks, she was born by accident: I ruined the paint, put it into brake fluid for a while. The brake fluid not only ripped the paint off but broke both A pillars at the roof so the roof was broken off on the front. So I decided to make a convertible. So I cut the roof at the rear end also. I cut a 5mm wide piece of the front part of roof off also and glued to the A pillars to make the windshield fit correctly and to give the whole car more stability. After I realised that the Spyder has different air intakes above the rear wheels, so I used some styrene sheets to make the changes. I used the original hood but modified it (with a stripe in the middle you can see in the pics) using styrene sheets. Then I had to fill the gap between the hood and the seating compartment, so I made a closed-roof-like something from styrene sheet and painted it black, you can see it in the pics. I also put styrene sheets between the modified above-the-wheel area and the hood and painted them body color. Filling with putty, sanding, checking, filling, sanding, checking etc. I did not use the side windows of the original car, I scratchbuilt the little black pillars (supporting the A pillars on the side) from styrene and added side windows using some thin clear plastic. Seeing the pics I didn't remember anything else, so I think that was all!

Good luck on building yours if you decide to do that. If you still not clear about the mods I did, PM me and I send you another pics showing the mods properly, OK?

Nice work on making it a drop-top. Is it possible to get close-up interior pics? This was one Fujimi kit that had correct size wheels with it. I only wished the wheels in the Murcielago kit was a bit bigger. You picked a great color.

Terrific build!! :)

Thanks Fastdupree & Tonio, here are the pics I have at the moment on my PC. Not the best close up pics about the interior, look 'foggy' unfortunately. So here they are:

I painted it black and flat yellow, used some carpet material on the floor and the seats also.

As for the rims of a Murci, I used the Murci Spyder rims on mine, they are much better as for the size, but still look a bit undersized as you can see:

Interior looks good. The carpet makes me want to sit inside it. I wish Lamborghini would put some kind of emblem on the steering wheel like Ferrari does. It look so plain with that circle in the middle of the steering wheel on all new Lambos.


Those wheels on your Murci look better in size. Fujimi has a special edition Gallardo kit with different but much larger wheels. If I ever see it, I will purchase it just to get the wheels for my Murcielago.

Thanks for the interior shots.
