Interesting...

Gents:

Can someone tell me what the colored disk next to the drivers side mirror is about?...not sure if this was just a trademark by the photographer or something else I've never seen.

I think it is a badge from the Dutch F-16 Fighter Squadron!

It's the Dutch Royal Airforce logo, not just the F-16 Squadron.

So....is this just something an owner put on his car or something custom from Spyker?

As this is 001 and a studio photo, I'd say the latter.

So much stuff that has changed.. it has been listed elsewhere but I'll give it a go just for the heck of it:

-No split windows
-Fuel cap just in front of the windscreen
-different wheel design (no bolts anymore)
-Propeller design logo in the grille (now above it)
-Written Spyker insignia above the grille (now in it)
-No side reflectors yet (which have changed in their own right later on)
-No widebody style
-No air vents aft of the front wheels
-No lower grille yet
-No side indicators in the rear view mirrors (nor anywhere else)
-windscreen is secured by bolts
-Old style headlights
-Air intake on the engine cover
-No wire mesh grille between the exhaust pipes
-Metal coloured things keeping the front suspension cover in place
-Orange rear lights towards the inside, red ones towards the outside (this changed several times, but most recent cars had it the other way round)
-No reversing lights in the diffuser (they changed several times too)
-No license plate holders front and aft
-Small rear view mirrors (latest cars have bigger ones)
-No tow ring (I think it is) in the right corner of the grille
-I might be mistaken, but I think newer cars have a sharper bodywork cutline extending down from the far ends of the grille
-No rear breaklight
-Slightly different (smaller) foglight design

That's about all I can come up with for now, I'm sure many more external changes have been made. This doesn't even cover all the different hard/softtop designs, interior and mechanical evolutions. The combined number of adaptations must run in the thousands!

I think propeller design logo in the grille and Spyker lettering above it looks much better. I wish I could change mine the same way.

Do not forget this is a prototype car.

These wheels are two piece 18".
Only fitted to the first prototype/show (cars #001, #005, ?)
These cars are made from a thinner aluminium

All production cars have 19".
