Japan seems to have one of the richest custom Rolls-Royce scenes in the world. They have plenty of original Phantoms and Ghosts, but this is the first time we've seen something from RR's glorious past.
This creation of Tokyo tuning lab Office-K is a classic Silver Spirit II, an icon of the 80s and 90s. Rather than going for that laid back Miami Vice look, the customizers added a bit of racing flair.
The most interesting part is the bonnet/hood, fabricated entirely by hand. First, they stripped down all the chrome, cut out some holes and installed four large heat vents. They're probably made from fiberglass and took a fair bit of sanding and primer to flow seamlessly with the classic car.
The Office-K Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit II is equipped with a body kit as well. It consists of custom front and rear bumpers, side skirts, flared fenders and chrome side vents. They also included a new exhaust system and a set of Forgiato DITO-ECL 20-inch rims. Yes, the wheels look like sneakers on Queen Victoria, but the Rolls-Royce scene in Japan is crazy that way.
We're not sure what's going on under the bonnet, but all Silver Spirit/Spur saloons had a 6.75-liter V8 matched to either a 3- or a 4-speed automatic gearbox. The most distinctive feature was, of course, the famous Pantheon grille, built entirely by hand using a combination of skill and experience. That's the one piece on this whole car we think should never be touched by sand paper, carbon or extra trim.
