Next project is to change the rear end and this is the design we came up with. Would be interesting to hear your thoughts?

Thanks
Gary

Lol, I've had the car since April. I've traveled 2500 miles so far and have no intention of selling it. So rather than waiting to get the bits done I'm doing them now so I enjoy them for many years to come. + the paint on it is not the best so it's now or never really.

Cheers
Gary

Because there is only 1 thing I'm not keen on and that's the line which is around the rear wheel arch and follows through on the wing (not the bolt on wing) the rossion reduced the wing size where I'm not, I'm using lotus exige lights, different to the rossion. I'm just smoothing the look out a little. But trying to retain a noble feel.

Lotus lights on the M600
I like that idea, looks very good. Like you I feel its the area on the car that could do with improvement, looks wise. The only think that has held me back is once you change the car from factory spec, it will effect the re-sale value. By how much, I've no idea but it will not be for the purist, but I doubt that worries you, but for some reason it has held me back from getting the grinder out!!! Bol with the project thumbup

That's spot on Paul, I've gone through all of those thoughts, not worried about the $$$ so much as I plan to keep her for many years, but more worried about what the purists thought. I just think it will improve on its already amazing looks and give it more of a modern look...It can always be changed back!

That's not your diffuser though is it. It's yours but with the flat top like others have said they'd prefer. Are you going to change yours to be like this picture?

All opinions are valid Paul wink ... Correct, the guy I got to draw the car straighten the diffuser :/ still not finished it yet with the infill, Hopefully that will pull it together. If not I can always make another 1 straight, we would like to tweak a couple of things anyway.

I think the image looks stunning.

For me, i wouldnt have the sloped bits around the lights/rear vent as i think it conflicts with the vertical wing supports and vertical planes on the diffuser, but that's personal opinion. Otherwise i think it looks stunning and suspect the artist could make some money with drawings of various nobles on this forum. Just in time for xmas.....
