Hi All,

My 1st post so please be nice!

I recently purchased a 7 style, bike engined car - I bought it as it was reasonable cost, and seemed a very good base to start from:

Wilwood 4 Piston Calipers all round
Brand new team dynamics lightweight wheels (new tyres also)
Gaz Shockers all round
Lighweight GRP seats

Anyway..........you get the idea, not a bad package to start for my 1st kit car.................

HOWEVER, the bodywork, whilst ok, isnt mint, I've purchased some new cycle wings, and the rear end seems fine, but I'd really like to replace the nose cone, bonnet and possibly scuttle panel (to match in with the bonnet - makes sense)

I've been on to MNR (as I think the design of their body panels looks mint, just a little tweak over the 'standard' 7 style, with the blended windscreen and incorporated fascia), and as helpful as the guy was, very polite, nice to talk to and willing to sell the parts, he wasnt able to give me any measurements!

What I'm after is measurements of the MNR body panels, or alternatively, if anyone has a supplier of similarly cool body panels - i've done google searches to no avail???

I have a close friend thats experience with fibreglass, so some minor modifications are no worries!

Many thanks for any help and advice.

Cheers

Mnr didn't use to sell their bodywork to anyone who didn't have their chassis.. they have changed the bodywork over time, and it does need some fettling to fit anyway, so if I measure mine it almost certainly won't be what you get (i had to cut a good few inches off the front of the body when fitting the nose). You don't say where in the country you are, there might be someone local to you with a recent chassis / body set you can go and measure....

Good luck!
