It may look a bit like this......

I pushed my rolling chassis outside after pulling the molds off. I then photographed and added some nice wheels and a bonnet in paintshop....gives you some clue

but hate to say it it needs some sort of rear spoiler not to big just to finish the rear off.

Time for a new avatar then Alan, it even looks better in real life, than it did on that drawing!

Very good job, I'm very impressed with your work. I'm starting on the bodywork of my Seven next week. Wish me luck...

to bost something is to break or to crack it................bosting = cracking, not in the soul destroying grp/plug cracking kind of way but in the "looking gooooood" kind of way

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Fahrgiiing Awwwwesome Duuuude! (West Coast USA surfer drawl...)

It does look teeny. But very sporty and much better in the flesh than in your old avatar and the avatar looked great. So you have done a fantastic job!

Thanks all (I think..LOL)

The wheelbase is the same as the MR2 (around 93" IIRC) but of course the overhangs are much less...so it's small, but not really tiny IMO....

Very Very nice indeed. Now it just needs some hundred-spoke daytons and hydraulics.

No, because Alan would have to take those off of his Tchebbie

Way to go, Alan!

Rob, red is still the favourite so far.......not sure yet about which aerodynamic aids I'll be fitting.....something to think about I guess...

well if you want to go fast red is the FASTEST color available, but you should also look into a bright orange or yellow.

I really think though that your car would look good in yellow, not bumblebee yellow, more of a neon yellow.

see if you cant get someone to photochop it into yellow.

Color is a tough deal. To make it worse, are you painting it to please yourself or to please everyone else (as in, putting it forward as advertising.)

For the body shape, silver is The correct color as it shows off the curves and lines the best. But, it doesn't have the grab-them-by-the-throat-and-throw-them-to-the-ground attention power...

Very dramatic wedge styling.

It looks very high at the back. That's not a critisism, just an observation. Does it really need to be so high at the back to clear the engine or is this a styling effect to emphasise the wedge profile?

Curious.

Yes, pretty much. It really isn't that high in the flesh...just enough to clear the engine..
