Yea, the idea looks good on an X100 but not mine, shape is all wrong, even shotgun pipes wouldnt help. Happy enough I sold the arches now :) Spiriant Chaser idea is done nowQuote:

Update time!
Portlaoise. Portlaoise Portlaoise Portlaoise.......
Ok so most of you won't know but I used to be heavily involved in Motorsport. I competed in Karting for nine seasons

And in single seaters for a further three

So in 2003 after the Leinster Trophy I gave up. A combination of no money and a hatred of the sport (for political reasons) meant I happily walked away. So Portlaoise nearly two weeks ago was my first time to do anything Motorsport related since.
So I checked the car over the week leading up to it, cleaned it too and I was ready to go! :o

Sitting waiting to go for my first run on Saturday I was a bit uncertain. I had never really clutch kicked the car, or any car, never used the handbrake for other than its intended purpose and generally never done any hooning about or drifting of any sort other than skidding about on the snow a while back.
I also made a conscious decision before I went out which might explain some of my driving (not excuses! :D ). No wild entries into the first corner; if it was to go wrong id have been in trouble and being my first time I didnt need to wreck the car. So my lap started after that. Then it finished before the last corner. After seeing Bert lose a wheel the last day on the gullies I wasnt risking it. The few times I could slot in the small gap between the gullies on Saturday evening I went for it but otherwise my lap finished at the entry to the hairpin. After all I did intend to drive home in it on Sunday evening lol
But it was awesome!! I spent the first half of Saturday messing about generally doing more understeering then anything else I got a 90 minute break, went and did some watching and thinking and went back out and went much better. By 5.30 Saturday (when everyone else was in the pub!) I was linking the track between the two points above which was deadly, so I was well pleased with that. The handbrake was useless but the clutch held up perfect to a decent raping, and the lack of power steering was only an issue at the slow turn at the end of the pit lane then.

Saturday night....hmmmmmm :o
Great night from what I heard :D
So Sunday was a right off! I was a bit of a wreck, so I did my few laps (very badly!) and finished up. But I was chuffed with Saturday evenings last runs so I didnt mind.

:(
ouch:(
ahhhh lad thats some pain in the hole :(
FML! What do you do there?
i know its besides the point, but can it be repaired???
ahhhh , sick...
did you open the box before you signed for it ? should always check the stuff in the box before signing for it.. i learned the hard way once with a new origin spoiler....
you'v no comeback once you'v signed for it..
Yip, pretty poor.
I would be suprised if it could be repaired, i'd imagine it could be fixed (bonded or something) and painted but they are actually tinted perspex, like a visor, so painted it wouldnt look the same.
Dunno yet Mick
sick!! give it to keith(k1984w) he fixed the 180 wind deflectors surely could leave this mint!

This is Upsetting as i know how sexy and hard found these are :(
Dont give up lad. I bet ud find a cheap lad that can fix this. Or bond it yourself and get another lare of tint or carbon wrapped. Or black Vinyl, it aint that dear.
awwh man! sucks big time! i know the feeling when ya know what it is and u would sign whatever the paper you were given just so you could have a look at it quicker!! the spontaneous shit is bad!!
give them assholes hell for braking it ! ring them every day lol !
and this could be fixed no probs i guess
