Have to say, the picture of JD's car and the one that Swanny posted have got me thinking about the headlamp fairings again Last time I checked I think it was about 600 quid to have them done by Sportmotive..

Fixed that to say what you really meant

Any remedial work required due to the moulds would have been done the first time it got painted, that isn't so much the problem.
The problem is over the years GF, unlike metal, moves/distorts so it needs to be "corrected" again if you want to end up with a decent job.
As you rightly say the paint chosen can make the job harder still.

Gotcha. I knew the Kevlar parts in the late wedges could 'move'.

I was once told that moulds have a shelf life and that TVR used them well beyond.

I like the colour of this car. I bet it looks stunning on a day like today.

Weirdly, I think it wouldN't fit the car if it didn't have the fared headlamps as the normal lamps have too much of a retro look to work with such a modern colour.

Right, I have been made aware that the title of this thread has caused some dificulties/misunderstandings for the suppliers of JD's Supercharger kit, i.e. SC Power. It would appear that the thread title has led some to think that some of the project delays have been a result of the involvement of SC Power, who, I understand have been queried on this issue by potential customers. Speaking on behalf of JD, I would like to make it very clear that no delays are in any way attributable to SC Power. Speaking on my own behalf, they'd be the first guys I'd go to if I decided to supercharge beastie

Big Al: I've endeavoured not to name companies in this thread as that's what led to JD now being absent. I hope this post is acceptable to you and PH. Just trying to be honest and up front...

Come on BA, we're all grown ups, (apart from Daz who thinks he is a grown up,.................. sorry Daz ) there's nothing wrong with this thread, it's informative and interesting to boot!

Ah, Retrowheels!

Linley was one of the first to congratulate me on my car and i really wish him all the best with this project! We should have similar figures from going down totally different paths so will be great to see the cars run together.
Its great to see people pushing the boundaries and reading something different from the usual "locked out how do i get in topic" so would be gutted to see this post removed JD has lost all his privileges but i don't see why we should lose ours in enjoying this project!!! Thanks for posting Chilli

I think that might be on Facegive us your informationbook which i don't subscribe to!
And i'm not losing out here at present thanks to chilli with the added advantage of getting to read the contributions from my fellow PH's so thanks for the advice but i'd prefer to stay part of the community as that was the initial appeal of ph "caring & sharing"

I don't actually recall the exact web address, but it wasn't on facebook. If you are at all interested I am sure any of his followers reading this could PM you some sort of web address?
