Kepp it silver, nice and different.
Wish I had a unit to use like that, come to think though I'd need a project as well lol
Coming together very nicely now with all the extra goodies being made, and those wings look ace, makes me want a saloon now lol
Oh and another vote for silver ;) only disadvantage being though it's a metallic so if you nudge it and need to respray it'll be more expensive.
On the other hand how about making it a Sport replica :d
lol Unfortunately I can't work in the unit as it's the 'clean' unit, just store it for a week.
lol I think not on a sport rep.....
But the silver option is growing in my mind, we'll just have to see..
S-i-l-v-e-r!!!!
Sorry, my hearing is going, what colour did you think would look good Will? lol
Right, that the vents issue sorted, guess there is a benefit to working in the motor trade....
FREE! The best price there is..lol

Cue....Fiat Punto vents..
Way too long but the rotator mech is short allowing them to be easy cut down to size.
Main holes cut out and 1 fitted....I like!

That's trick.
Ah bugger on the fes one's but least you got some in there, it what i was going to use if i had done it on the track car.
Cheers, I have cut down the other vent, just need to do some trimming and fit some mesh then they will be ready for paint.
Scoops looking good Mark, do they just bond on then or can you maybe seal them like you would a sunroof?
Mark, pm me your mob number and I'll send you photo's from tonight
Cheers for the pics mate.
Fibreglass wings arrived from Chris yesterday....Cheers mate!
Placed in position, not fixed as I haven't had the time to drill the holes but you get the idea. I think they are superb and match my fibreglass bonnet.

:thumb: Proper job :thumb:
Indeed they are mate.
They look the part :cool: Like the fact that the wings have the extra bits on the bottom which line up with the front valance.
Yes, quite important for me too as I will be running thin bumpers.
The finish and fit on the wings look awesome.
Put them on the floor next to each other and you can't tell the difference, then pick them up......1 weighs normal, the other barely weighs at all...lolQuote:

Coming along nicely now matey, have you got all of your eye bolts and plates, think I've got some left in the garage if you need them :thumb:
Thanks Chris.
Yes, I'm all sorted mate, got plenty. Forgot to get a picture of the rails (and the extra eye bolt for the crotch strap), will get one when I am back over,
stunning mark :thumb:
What did you use to remove the side trim pins? Does removing them leave much of a mess?
Getting there mate.
