I do like their new bodywork... Quite a lot actually!
Just a shame it's nowhere near symetrical!

You have to consider and allow for the amount of work they have done for you.You should be able to assemble that in a fraction of the the time most
locost builds take and dare I say it overall better quality(mine certainly even though I'm proud of it).I've got some popcorn packs in
just in case!!

You dont get much, but what you do get is good.
You knew what you were getting... dont grumble or compare - it doesn't matter to anyone else except you.
Nice write up - nice new bodywork, I like it. If I had that sort of money I'd probably do the same. We built ours complete for less than you got
those parts for but hey - does it matter? Of course not...

Lovely

You made your choice, personally, I don't think you'll regret it. I do like the powder coated alloy, my panels were bare and shiny
(they're now oxidised and not to nice looking...).
Good luck with the gearbox, if it shows any signs of leakage from the flange seals, get on the phone to the factory ASAP.
Are you fitting a Blade? or anything more unsual?
Mine (was) orange:

and yes, I like the new bodywork too!

Nice to see youve gone for the new style bits i remember seeing it at the kent show and really like it especially in the white black combo. How much
else do you need? already gone over the price of my MNR.

What you've spent at the outset you'll have a good chance of 'saving' in depreciation vis-a-vis any of the less well
established kits.

£ 10 k!!??? that is a bit more than £ 250.
There are completed road registered w'fields for sale for £ 7 k but then you wanted to put your own stamp on it.
I don't think you should feel bad, we don't build kits to make money but the opposite, i.e. lose money. But hey, still cheaper than
wonem, alcohol and drugs
The only people who make money are those that are paid by someone else to build kits.
