That looks really good in black. I'm not quite sure about these cars in certain colours but this one looks awesome.

Hi Finlay

The car looks great. What RAL code is the colour?

Looks nice-nice-nice! If I were you I'd go for a big filter element now that the bonnet is cut (very neat BTW!).

Mine's at the same stage and has taken 5 times as long!

That is fantastic .... yes the resemblance just kept nagging me in the back of my head, but i just couldn't picture it!!!!

MNR should trademark the nose, call it something like ...' the ripper ' hehehehe

I'm imagining that car in Carbon fibre effect, all black, with a few cunningly placed ooze and green acid squirts, subtly airbrushed on it.

Very nice! Are you going to paint the little aluminium brackets on the front wings?

I'm very tempted by the practicality of those mirrors!

Nice! I like it! I wish we were this far...
Do you have a picture of what you have done to the bodywork where the exhaust pipes exit the body? You had a rectangular hole there, I would be interested to see your solution.
Also, are you planning to use a bonnet bulge or just leave the filter like that?
And finally, what is that shiny piece of metal visible between the steering wheel spokes on the dashboard picture? It seems that you have something by the pedals on the floor... ?
Thanks!

Hi Finlay,

Looking good. What is boxed in in the passenger foot well? The battery?

hi all

Tim C - na, i m not going to paint the alloy plates on the front wings, they are to make the wings abit more secure than just self tappers

Gergely - i m not sure if im going to fit a bonnet scoop or not, i was going to originally but i quite like it flat

on the exhaust exit hole i have an alloy plate shaped and fitted on, also i have a new carbon can comming so i will take a pic when i fit it

they are return springs for the throttle peddle

Clive - the passanger footwell behind the plate is where all the ECU, battery, voltage regulator, starter solinoid etc etc is, you can access everything from a hatch under the bonnet or by unbolting the plate and removing, all the rust stains are all the metal shavings rusted, they have stained the floor alittle but will polish up

cheers
