Hi Andy.

Saw your Noble in the flesh at Stoneleigh today.

Great job!
Cheers, tbh the car was very rough around the edges with its cobbled in temporary lights and I didn't even have time to wipe the polish out of the pinholes in the front clip lacquer... But I wanted to use the car rather than leaving it in the garage... And it was a good show worth going to... Even managed to buy my new lights while I was there :-)

Did We meet?

No we didn't Andy.

Would have been great to meet you and hear the beast first hand.

Ultimas were impressive.

Loved the people swooning over the Ultimas just a few feet from the Noble. Made you want to shout.. "You know there's a Carbonfibre M12 with 700 brake here?"

so I finally got a local paint shop (phil did it ferg!) to slap a few coats of paint on... it ISNT finished as I lack the cash and time (as i'm going to monaco etc in it friday) so it will have further flatting and laquer later on in the year.









its still a long way from being finished, but it now feels like its getting there smile

Stunning workmanship, but I do think it needs something else painted in red on it, otherwise the red panel is a bit random. Absolutely amazing job on the panelling though. Awesome.

Agreed. Red calipers, red roof so the red 'wraps' around the top of the car, perhaps?

kinda agree, but this is a temporary paint job as I was fed up with how unfinished it looked previously

Have you weighed the car, now you're (kind of) done, Andy?

I'm not a fan of the red panel, either, but I think the carbon looks fantastic and you should be very proud of your creation!

Please, please, please give the GTT some love, now!

Just to clarify I didn't mean to cause offence if I have, I am truly in awe of your work. Will look forward to the finished article (if a project like this is ever finished) :-)

i took no offence at all, you were echoing my own view... i was going to do the panel black but unpainted in primer the design actually grew on me hence I decide to make a feature of it for the moment and decide what to do later smile

Bloody hell, that looks fantastic. If you told me in person you were learning it as you go along I wouldn't believe you. I'm not even a fan of carbon but that just looks so... Right!

Kudos.
