After being influenced by Sha_Do who is a french designer specialising in amazing graphic designs for Japanase Cars – I sought out a designer who could not only produce a design but also wrap the vehicle professionally.
After a fellow drifter friend suggested I got in contact with Si at SJSDesign I quickly got on the phone and we started working on the design. I spent three months working on the design of the Samurai Girl learning a 3d model rendering tool called Poser.
Si provided the background fan with the Kanji writing and the backdrop with japanase mountains, trees and traditional japanase dragon wrapped around the front wheel.

It got a really warm welcome from the fans at Santa Pod, the event organisers and the professional photographers took hundreds of pictures of the car.
It was here they took the photos that were used to advertise JapShow 2009 and appeared in Fast Car, Banzai, Total Impreza, Local press, Santa Pod Newsletters and on flyers and the JapShow programme.
For 2010 the car has been resprayed satin-black and there are plans for a new design… watch this space
