    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!
    Winning on sunday, selling on monday!

      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".
