Nice colour! Always thought I would go the gel coat route, but now having second thoughts.

Diffuser came on the car as did the the rear wing, though I made the end plates. I believe they could be SS items though as mentioned.

Hello Bart124
The rear defuser if its the original one in carbon, then it's one that I made myself, the rear spoiler I sourced, couldn't afford the factory twin layer one and at the time they were having problems with the quality of finish.

Although it doesn't show too well in the pics above, mine has a rear diffuser fitted also.
Made from steel and matches the side skirts and front splitter.

I knew I should have asked you! Haha.

There we are then people - answers above. I have actually been looking at a couple of wings lately, I like the idea of getting a GT inspired design with a bit more shape to it, but likely means having to make up either spacers for the current struts to fit, or having new mount holes drilled and the old filled on a paint job that's only 2 months old frown

could you still keep the rear tow eye with a rear diffuser fitted or would it foul the rear clip, not much clearance there .

Here's some photo's of my in-process build
Pic shows the steering shaft mod. Added another U-joint and Heim Joint because my big feet (US 13) hit the steering shaft with the extended pedal mod installed.


Headers, just complete!



Still working out the latching for the velocity stack lid, think I'll go with a stud-catch of some kind.
That way nothing is visible.

the end


WHAT'S SOUND????? bounceclap

Some better pics of mine from the last Wilton House event of the year. Following on from Renmure's topic of the side pods, I'm likely to wrap them in carbon over the winter. I also have just ordered some ABS plastic mesh for the front as I'm not a fan of the current black metal mesh.





Gorgeous car - are the plates different front and back or is it my eyes?

Wheels are the previous powder coat, I have simply rattle canned the outer edge until they have a proper winter refurb.

Shamefully that front plate is terribly wrong!! Now removed and correct one on route.
