like the look of the front one, altho not with the weld only on one side, either get a weld bead put on the other end to match or have that one ground flat.
The rear one looks sweet but isnt going to be doing a great deal because it picksup in the wrong place, like most out there, should mount further down between the turrets not at the top bolt, but it looooooks sweat like that

Ah right,well im going to try smoothing it oof a bit,but dont want to damage it,as for the rear yes i know i need one that go's bettwen the struts(on the arches) but it dont matter at the mo as im getting a cage in there,that well stop the bugger moving about :twisted:

PS: once the standard inlet has gone(throttle bodys) i will change the front brace to a better one that follows close to the bulk head.

this may be a stupid question... but what are the tizer/redbull cans doing ?

What about cutting the ends off, dropping it down a bit and bolting to the car? It looks just wide enough.
It all looks very nice clean. Top job. I would want an alloy header tank to finish the job off.
looks good scott
but i would suggest removing the fanta bottle from under your spare wheel.
car might handle better then
