Oh wow, it looks like a class color. Will look imence when shes kitted up. Have you got a kit sorted for it yet?
Not yet, best price iv got for the greedy rocket bunny kit has been €3800 delivered can't justify it 😥😓😩 So I'm gonna go random custom kit have a few bits in mind that I'm on the lookout for should be plus 100mm each side finished anyway on the rear. I'm gonna leave the front till I have to steering angle sorted. Custom adjustable rose jointed arms top and bottom up front. The lock on these fds is horrendous...Quote:

Last time I left it just managed to get cage fully sprayed in gold, masked off, inside rubbed down and sprayed in the same matt grey as the underneath. Don't have a pic of the inside sprayed must pull off the masking from the cage and clear coat both next time I'm down.

If all goes to plan I should have Caster and Camber adjustment.

Here's the simple gig that will mock up the new Rose jointed arms. The one gig will make both sides as they will be a simple mirror image of one another. Both arms will be near 3" longer
http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e5...ps7de50f21.jpg
Going to offset the ball joint pick up point to reduce some of the caster angle. Will do this below as well.
http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e5...ps59a11f86.jpg
Top arms should be pretty easy, its the bottom ones I'm worried about
Wish wisefab had a kit for this
Turned this teak knob

It's finally arrived. Savage kit to be fair to them. 23 pieces in total. Should give it the finish I'm looking for! Lots of work ahead of me over the mid term break now. I've no experience in fitting these so all advice and tips welcome.
http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e5...psr835pog3.jpg
ohhh this should see a big change in the project now....slap it on the car so we can all see what it is shaping out to be. love the back of that aero kit bodykit.
Gonna be awesome :DQuote:

When you fork out this much I didn't expect to have to reshape all the edges to match the contours of the car as you'll see below.
But anyway rant over, I've been told that compared to others it's quite a good fit so here's a few pics of the quarters which will be the most challenging to fit.
