Just noticed them for sale on eBay, look pretty funky. Anyone thinking of getting one? £400 isn't too bad considering the supply/demand of them.

I've been pondering it, but I think a quick oil level check would turn into a mammoth task lol

Would be handy if were willing to cut away the inner wings and slam panel so it allowed greater access.

Yeah looks good, would be ideal for people with let's and V6s with limited access to everything. Even better if you combined it with a space frame

They do do these with a removable bonnet section so you can have the bumper and wings as one and the bonnet separate which i think would be handy for track weapons etc

Did think that, if you're taking a mould amazed it wasn't with a gsi one. That said I prefer povo spec!

There's a lad on here who uses one of these on his autotest Nova.

I can't remember his name but he uses a LWB Sprinter to transport the Nova (only just goes in!).

Brilliant for a space framed front end. IMO though, is pointless if your still using the standard forward chassis tho as it'll offer no more acess then the OEM panels.

Mount it with live locks or floating anchors & it be removable in about 3 minutes if your slow.
