Roadster is 2" wider than the Locost so a start in right direction...

The only people who I *know* of that do a +4" are GTS...
.... with all the inherent risks involved with buying from them!

I got my bodywork from them (although only needed a +4" scuttle as my nosecone is standard) and I made my bonnet. It is very nice.
Pity it took 6months to arrive... so lucky other things held me up!

Cheers,
James

There was a post about a year ago that showed how to widen wheel arches. The same princible could be used on nose cones.
The process used a cardboard box but i cant find it.





How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

Shouldn't give the game away but if anyone wants a blow by blow on how to make the nose cone, scuttle etc wider without too much drama then drop me an email...

Cheers,
Mark
