I'm not sure what to do with the rear end wing wise, got use to it without one. then I think maybe a wing would be good and then I get stuck choosing between carbon one to more of a moulded bodywork type one.
Something ill have to make a decision on eventually.
A carbon fibre spoiler would work well, especially with the other carbon bits.Something ill have to make a decision on eventually.
latest bits have been;
Looks like im finally getting there in terms of a reliable normal car - 900 miles now complete.
- Change of clutch on driveway - NEVER AGAIN!!!
- Change of coilovers to Meister R from BC racing - much better ride!
- laser cut badge for the front

Amazing work, looks very purposeful and a genuine Supercar sitting on the tarmac in that last pic!
Do you mind sharing how much you think you have spent getting to this point?
Basically to build your own it could be done for under £30k but depends on the parts you buy the more it becomes. Also the final finish.Do you mind sharing how much you think you have spent getting to this point?
An example is mine has a generic alloy rad + slimline fans less than £200, but a mishimoto racing rad and spal fans £450+
Never been quite happy with the rear of the car so far, so with reliability basically there (touch wood) and 1200miles covered time to work on the nice bits I want to before the winter.
So the first part to the rear was to break up the chunk of red it just didnt look right. So I decided to use plasti dip in the end between the two light pod areas. It is a much better product than i expected and can see why people spray whole cars for a matt finish.
It was hard to pull off a clean line when you don't have an edge to pull against, but I suspect a sharp knife run over the top would help and a small piece of wood to give an edge to pull against.
Next is to change the rear lights, then to look into a spoiler and finally do I move the exhausts back down the bottom to exit on each side.

Did a new video, gave me a good chance to improve videoing and editing skills...which wouldn't be hard compared to the past ones!

A diffuser on the rear bumper like you see on the rear of a Clio 197 and the exhausts sitting either side should finish it off nicely.
Looks stunning!
I'd be tempted to get an interior specialist company to sort the inside though.
thanks ill take a look into that rear bumper / diffuser set up.Looks stunning!

As for the interior - its poor for a reason currently, little effort and money (on purpose though). I'll build it into the shape I want this winter, get some of it hydrodipped and flocked with some new seats. Its the worse part of the build by a long shot, but at least its for a reason.

No problem, nice knock up. Undecided on that look until I've changed the rear lights like I plan to do. I did wonder about taking the exhausts out each side down the bottom?
Another dodgy knock up! Like this, or quads? Stunning build by the way.Gassing Station | Readers' Cars | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
