Great pics thanks Dom.

I think that car has the same front wheel set up as me but has the ability to run lower as it has pneumatically adjustable front dampers so can raise the front for speed humps.

Bigger front discs than me too.

Where are those cannards and side scoops from?

And those sidesteps too, they're hot. What are they made of?

Alex, rev zone look like they are doing a great job with your car from what i can see on there face book account.

i would think that if you had some sheet metal cut and bent to the required shape for the main plain, finished it with a return on the outside and made a small lip on the inner area to match the curve of the front body work it would not be to difficult to vacume bag some carbon over it and achieve a similar result. Rev Zone could probably the do similar ones for all the WRXs and 370Zs they have there. "Fiber glass industries" (FGI) on center rd will have all the gear you need.

as for the side skirts i think they look similar to the FEED ones you see on RX7s though they are likely to be a bit short,

maybe carbon wrapped gator board would be strong enough?
if not i have a Melbourne source for Aluminum cored honeycomb aluminum skinned panels. Have been meaning to try some carbon skins on the stuff just haven't gotten around to making the skins up and dropping them off for the trial.

Stuart made the carbon side scoops himself.
Not sure about the Cannards, but I know the rear diffuser was from a Stealth B6.
Side splitters will be plywood faced with carbon sheet.

Yeah, it's getting there. Should be driving in a couple of weeks. Just had first start of the engine, so all good there.

I would not get RevZone to do the body work, I will get Topstage to do it all in dry carbon. I can get everything made custom, I know, but I'd rather just buy off the shelf (tried and tested). I didn't buy the Ultima wing because anyway I am getting a custom wing made, so if I could just buy the cannards / scoops / sidesteps from somewhere, it'd be a lot easier.

sorry, its not mine, its Martins, but it was Stuart that built it for the TA series but i think it was overdue for entry when completed and he sold it before entering.

The car was built to compete in the TA series a couple of years back. The owner never actually entered the Series and then sold the car. Now the new owner uses it for road/track days.
