SAAB Powered WLR update
The beast is now fully dressed with only the diffuser and rear wing to attach.
There are still many issues to sort out ones of which is the rear fog lamp will not fit as it fouls the fuel tank.
Does anyone know the depth of a 95mm diameter LED rear fog lamp?

I had the same problem with mine, overcome it by finding some plastic pipe the same diameter as the lamp and made a 50mm spacing out of it, used some
long 4mm bolts problem solved.
Your getting closer to IVA, good luck.

Cheers David. Sounds like a plan. Especially if the LED fog lamp is also to deep.
I think I have too many details to take care of Mike  Don't think I'll be ready for the scary IVA until April at this rate!

The Bonnet has been modified into its final shape and now awaits final painting.
The beasts front end now looks ultra agressive. When the light units are fitted it should look very cool indeed IMHO

Problem? Black Projector units in white or chrome light pods? Time for a vote me thinks.

There was a vote!
Friends and family all disagreed, then changed their minds just in time to disagree again. But eventually there was a consensus.
Chrome.
The rest of the consesus was that the headlight lenses should be smoke tinted with white edge trims. So I guess thats more work and the next task
then.......
Maybe it's best not to be so democratic from now on

OK this is a slightly better picture now that the light units, glass and trim have been fitted. Also the bonnet upper and middle vent grills have been
installed which tends to soften the vent outlines.
The rear wing is offered up in this shot as well, although not yet fully fitted.
Unfortunately the wide angle lens used in this shot tends to make her look a bit of a big nose but hopefully some pics of her out of the workshop will
show her in a sexier pose. All we need is some good weather and some willing hands for a roll out onto the driveway
