Certainly is Francis. The RSR arches are slightly narrower (as well as being based on a N/B car) and a nicer shape than the GT2 items IMO.

Why thank you.
Some things in life are a photogenic dream. Translating image & managing to capture what the naked eye sees

Always thought the Snake pulled this off
Proper eyefull
Used to see it at Fearnsport a lot, there is something intrinsically right about it, it’s stance, the way the wheel/tyre combination fills the arches perfectly.
It’s a very special car.

As the current owner and custodian of the Black Snake, I would totally echo, Jonny Finance's thoughts and comments. A very unusual and rapid and truly exciting car.
Sadly due to unforeseen circumstances I am having to consider selling, although every time I see the car or hear its "heart beat" it makes me want to reconsider.

For any one who has not seen it in the flesh or had the pleasure of hearing it running it really is a truly epic and special motor car, a real trough back to when cars were proper cars and not full of modern electronics that may have made them quicker, but the electronics have also taken the raw aggression and enjoyment out of the driving experience, something this car is overflowing with.

A true one of one, from a by gone era.
