[TuxMan]

thanks Jim ,pleased with it so far still got a bit more to do before i can go for a ride !!!

[saucyboy]

I know the feeling mate. I did what your doing 2 years a go. it defo worth it in the end and it certainly helped sell my car. the guy had looked at 5 others that were all newer and said my was the best looking, especially underneath!! Only thing is you wont want to get it dirty, lol.

Makes me ashamed as I opened the rear clip at the weekend to check the water and had to scrap 2 inches of mud and road grim which had accumulated

[AMG Merc]

Tonyvan will be seriously concerned at the cleanliness there!

bloody copy cat
what did you make your diffuser blades out of?

[andrewr]

Yes, how do I make the additional veins? Would really like some on them on my M400.

Thanks
Andrew

Well gave it alot of thought but in the end i made them out of a hardwood called obeche , its very stable and easy to work with ,used a sealer to stop water getting into them then had the paint shop finish the job !!! i,m lucky as i have full woodworkshop facilitys on hand !! Andy yours is mucky because you have done 500 miles in a week !!! mines done zilch !!

[art411y]

i to used hardwood but which type i havent got a clue
if you want any bling i can get these






the last one is the oil dipstick handle.sorry its a bit of a blurr

[Gadgeroonie]

Now yer talking. . . . .
Have to say you've done a good job there Si. Almost, but not quite to the Ult standard
Think I'll stick with the Ult for the time being, I know how it was put together.
Just get some miles in it now, make sure it's OK for France. . . .

[TuxMan]

Ha ha ha ,thanks graham ,don,t worry she will be ready for France ,heres latest picture just need intercooler .
