Liked on FB as i am impressed mate, very impressed. Just wish i could help out with funding to get it off the ground. Need more of these rebodies as the IVA and kit cars will be a thing of the past soon with all this EU nonsense.

Good luck with it.

I was sceptical at first but I'm actually starting to come round to this, particularly now there's some paint on the front. I think I will actually quite like it when you get rid of those awful wheels, they really draw the eye from the body.

Nice work i cant wait to see one of these completed with those new Rims on! smile

I can't help thinking that this would be rather epic with an LS3 conversion biggrin

really love this conversion but the back end just doesn't look quit right to me.

Is there anything else to be added to the rear (splitter maybe?) and will there be any different rear light options?

keep up the good work.

Looks much more cohesive than i was expecting, i actually quite like how it's turned out! Looks great from the low front 3/4 view, and the high rear 3/4 - but i agree with the comment about about how the back end looks - in the low rear 3/4 view something doesn't look quite right yet, looks very high and very round.

Would be a great way to differentiate an LS converted car though!

Great work, as others have said the rear looks a little underwhelming compared to the saucy front end and needs a tweek. I'd like to of seen something akin to Ronin Exige monster (over in the lotus forum section).

Certainly got me thinking, how much are u expecting the kit to cost.

We have door mirrors. Taken from the Corsa D. Also in the process of fitting door handles as an optional extra. These are from the grand punto.
