Ultima Group C

[dandare]

I like it. The tyres visible from the rear are good. I also like how open the engine bay is.
The only thing that doesn't fit are the upper outer body radii. They don't match up with the rest of the body.

Good work though.

very Sauber ... best car ever

Thanks for the great feedback. I'm definitely looking for larger "round" tail lights and hopefully with modern LED lighting.

also, I had forgotten about the upper body radii. That's a great catch. We did spend a lot of time, and money, trying to retain a "sharper" edge along the entire length of the car. When looking back on the Group C class of cars there is definitely a boxier look to most of the cars.

Any thoughts about the wing mount, end plates? Too wide, too narrow, too high or low??

Thanks, Chris

For these try a custom truck magazine ads (I think you call them "Rigs")they will definitely have larger tail lights available.

Would the Alfa Mito one do - big single round led

Good idea, they would just leave the reverse, fog and reflectors from something else.

what about R33 or R34 skyline?

or im sure ive seen some lorry ones that big

id suggest if you really want the group c look.. forget indicators and fog and reverse within the cluster suggested about and imo do it proper like 917 where it looks like indicators have been added afterwards just for the road like a rear race car... fog and reverse can be aftermarket too.. rain light etc

[ajprice]

Skyline lights are one piece behind the trim, not single lights


Would the whole thing fit in with the 2 lights on each side?

Thanks for the suggestions. I like the Alfa lights although it looks like they may not mount on a common plane I'll check it out.........

This is a common problem with OEM car lights as (obviously) they are designed individually around the body shape.
Truck lights tend to be larger (5.5 Inches) and more "surface mountable".
Some examples here:

Though a custom truck mag will have more "bling" if required.
