    When i talked about welding the seam, this is where i ment. But i did both sides (in bay and inner arch) Have always told people to do both sides if asked too)




    Front end looks great.

    The tank is just plastic Benn, i was thinking about just doing the welding in the bay now the seam sealer will hide it anyway, and thanks it's getting there.

    If your running 500 bhp welded every seam and fit every plate. The cars hardly going to look stock anyways its 80% carbon fibre

    If done right, seam sealant can be very neat and tidy. Just practice a bit to get it right (on something old)

    And if it's plastic, i'd deffo get a carbon skin made.. Would look frigging lush.

    yeah think I will, just want it to look reasonably standard except for the carbon really.

    Ah ok I'll give that a go. Never thought of that tbh I'll maybe have a word with Chris see if we can sort something out.

    Not an update but looks like I'm getting a wider set of wings made so I might part with the carbon ones I already have.

    i should have a good update in the next 2 weeks or so!

    Think I'll be putting wider wheels on it not 100% sure yet,and I'm just keeping the rear arches the original width in only wanting wider fronts so I can get wider wheels on.

    have a look on page 3 mate there is pics of my bumpers,skirts,wings, doors, and grille my mirrors and dash are somewhere in the thread aswell. I'll have some pics of the boot and quarters and roof soon hopefully
