The gap in the boot is atually where the panel wasnt slotted back correctly its not there now.
Due to pick the car up tommorow/Saturday from D:Class in Woking where its been having a full re-trim.
Got a set of Bomex Type 1 mirrors that turned up from hong-kong a few days ago that need to be tided and painted and hoping to get a diffrent engine lid thats due at the end of October
Doors are going back to standard over the winter as i HATE THEM! now i dont mind the way they look its the usability of them.
Anyway construuctive comments welcomed

Lots of work gone into that car
Lots of work gone into that car
Thanks
Tubby
Engine:
2.0 Turbo REV3
HKS Induction
Apexi AVC-R running between 1 and 1.2bar
Motoria dual exit exhaust
XS Power blow off valve
I have sat under my desk
XS-Power uprated intercooler
XS-Power Motoria down pipe
Its being shot for a magazine shortley so all money has been pilled into finishing off the looks of the car then i can turn my attention to the engine more. Its just a dirty lump at tne moment. Needs a clutch so thats first then a good tune up and have the stuff fitted. The mods should see me 300 its not unrealstic but i want the torque up.
It was running 266 prior to the apexi unit
Cant wait to see the interior i know the brief they had but no idea how its come out

That's really nice, I love it!
Upon scrolling down to the first picture my immediate reaction was "it looks like a Gallardo!".
That was kinda the look we were going for. Didnt want to make it look to much like a wannabe though i didnt want people to think hes trying to make his toyota look like a lambo. The colour was based on the blue that the lambo comes in and the whole car has tried to keep the classy look to it almost as though its more of a car that could have come from the factory looking like it.Upon scrolling down to the first picture my immediate reaction was "it looks like a Gallardo!".
The breif on the interior was the same so hopefully it will come out well. Tried to base the interior on the lambo superleggra so all black alcantara with ideas from other exoticas so has twin stiching all around the car.
Hope it comes out as planned.
I cant wait to bin the doors now i do personaly think they look at home on the car but there just not worth it
Can only echo the sentiments above. I normally hate light transplants - they always look grafted on and are clearly designed for a different car, but with yours it just looks *right*, one of those rare moments when a talented individual improves on the work of a team of highly paid designers. Good work!
Abosolutely love it, as the others have said this kind of thing isn't really a big hit on this site but that is bloody lovely.
