It look good - all apart from the nose... I think the other one on the left looks better. It reminds me of one of these...

I agree - the new nose works very well. I really like the pale blue too

Thanks for the comments guys. Can anyone talk me through whether the discs are the wrong way around and what the implications are?
Thanks
TC

Wish I had someone to work on mine while I was busy....
Nice car Tim, or should I say ...Steve???
Anyway, lovely colour and looks very clean with no lights.
How do you attach the front mudguards with bolts showing through the top???

That's pretty much as far as it goes for Steve. There are a few jobs left to do which even I shoudl be able to find time for. It'll be
back home in a fortnight!

Yes, help definately helps! Those aren't actually my arches so they are just resting in place. However many (including Steve) have used
Sikaflex to bond them to the wing-stays. I don't know if it's possible as I haven't used the MNR wing stays. I have more
traditional ones from Procomp.

I do like the colour scheme alot! roll bar etc looks great too - perfect track tool by the loks of things.
and yeah - brake disks dont look right but not sure what the inplications are, if any!

Very nice indeed. Nice to see something different (nosecone). Great colour and nice fitting panels. Credit to the builder.
I think it needs a few stickers to brake up the colour? What you think?

Tim & Steve
Looks superb !!
It's nice to see some pics of mnr as there aren't that many to look at for people choosing kits. I very nearly went for the gulf colours
myself, Although the mac 1 worx blue is a great colour also . It makes me get even more excited about mine arriving.
Good luck and Enjoy it !!
Regards
Bob

As my brother Phil indicated - it depends on whether your disc's are handed. Most are not but if they are they should be marked up as L or R.
The following is a statement from Brembo...
"Brembo Sport slotted brake rotors are sold in axle pairs and the easiest way to verify correct usage is to install the rotors on the side of
the vehicle that results in the end of the slot nearest the outer edge of the rotor always contacting the brake pads first."
