Amazing the BiB haven't pulled you with those funny plate fonts!
Very envious of those able to drive their cars!

Just a quick question and in no way a critisism, mine went through sva so small front arches, are yours personal choice or is that what is required

I see what you mean about the front arches though - they are just too big! Though with care, they can be trimmed into a good shape. Hopefully you
still have some of the paint to make good afterwards...

) Good driving route in the good weather
Must actually start on a fun car again once the house move is out of the way (and I have a decent sized garage hopefully)
mudguards are the safest I've ever see! no danger of dragging poor pedestrians under your wheels like them

I think MNR supply them like that. If you have them long rather than cutting them down it's supposed to reduce the lift they cause. I read somewhere that at something like 100mph there's something like 50kg lift per wing. Thats from my very poor memory so don't hold me to that; It could be bo***cks.
Im thinking of putting vents in the top back side of the arches to reduce drag as per kit car mag wind tunnel testing.
