The Mitsubishi Sapporo Coupé is one of those vehicles with great lines and design details. All in all a nice car, but it somehow lacks something. However, this can be fixed easily: a healthy dose of lowering, larger diameter “OEM+” wheels and a few details here and there. The two-tone paint is more pronounced now, the taillights are all red and the front grille darker. The front airdam is the icing on the cake.
This photoshop chop only took half an hour, give or take. I just love to enhance original design so the changes are hardly visible to those not familiar with the original car. 😉

Just a few subtle changes added to the Mitsubishi Lancer 2000 Turbo. Lowered with a set of coil-overs, mounted set of larger wheels and grafted on fender flares and an extension to the factory body-kit. I then converted the picture to grey-scale, because I didn’t like the colors in the reference picture.

Oh yes – it’s another one of those pocket rockets from the 1980’s. The Mitsubishi Mirage, or Colt as it was called in other markets, could have been a lot of fun. Unfortunately Mitsubishi never made a hot hatch version of it to compete with the likes of the Volkswagen Golf GTI, Peugeot 205 GTI, Renault 5 and many others in that league. All you need to do is inserting a turbocharged engine of your choice, adding a set of adjustable coilovers and a nice set of polished Starion wheels and you’re done. No need to shed a lot of weight, because these cars have always been featherlight (unless all the small cars of today).

Even though I’m not a huge fan of front wheel drive cars in general, I do appreciate some of them. Especially when a four wheel drive option was available. The first and second generation of the Mitsubishi Eclipse are good examples of such cars. Nice to look at and fun to drive. We’ll just ignore the rather ugly third generation for the time being. Concerning the picture I didn’t really modify a lot, apart from enhancing the looks of the original Japan-spec body kit and adding a set of nice wheels. Can you spot the other changes?

Yes. Another one of those edgy cars from the eighties. The Mitsubishi Sapporo isn’t really a vehicle that gets customized often (or at all, for that matter). I didn’t change a lot, either. Just lowered it, put a nice set of wheels on and added bigger brakes. Done.

I do like edgy cars. And even the rather boring ones can be modified to look (a little) less boring. This Mitsubishi Lancer Mk4 (aka Mitsubishi Mirage) was modified to appear like a car that was build on a shoestring budget. Lowered, larger steel wheels and flared rear fenders. Easy as that.
