Not Joust's but I think he is going for an Indigo Blue M400. Here is link to photos of mine which is the same. This car is in the U.S. and does not yet have an engine. Some pictures have the car with black wheels and some with silver.

That mocal branded radiator is an oil cooler right? Do all M12s have one?

Someone in a previous thread said it was a power steering cooler.

The car looks like it's coming along nicely Justin.

The oil cooler is behind one of the side pod's dan.could the mocal rad be aircon? I thought paul said they'd dropped the power steering cooler (which I think is on the near side on my car).

justin - very envious mate, can't wait to see it in action!

Nice; I thought you were hanging on for an M14? Will you be having :heretic: Marcos /:heretic: reaer lights fitted?

PS Delivery date? In time for VMAX we hope!

Dan,
Just had a look at mine and it says "Oil Control System" on the top.

Joust, are you putting Armourfend on the car?

[LaurenceFrost]

Is it Azure or Indigo? Hard to tell from the light in the pictures.

[JonRB]

You can really go off someone, you know.

No, seriously, good on you J.

I'd put money on the answer being no. He hates it about as much as I like it

I really am not a fan of it either but have talked myself into putting it on after hearing all the stories about the paint chipping.

Is there a front towing hook on the M400? - it's not on mine and not on Joust's (yet).

They're standard on 3R's aren't they?

[richsd]

My understanding is that all newer cars M12 and M400 no longer have a towing hook in front.

I know nothing about Armourfend... I take it it's some sort of plastic film that protects the front end? Would be grateful if someone could tell me where you can get it in the UK and whether it's 'obvious' when fitted... don't fancy driving a car that looks like it's wearing a plastic mac!

Thanks,
Dom.

Thin clear film made by 3M. Not obvious that it is applied but you can see a bit of a line at the edges. The line seems to show more on darker cars.
