Mazda 6 - tbh I quite like the Mazdas - like the rear clusters on them - v sleek looking. The grill sections are sort of v shaped as below -

Mazda 6 MPS is where it's at.

I work above Mazda, Mitsi and Volvo and exlcuding the EVOs the 6 MPS is by far the best looking model on our forecourt.... even better than the RX8s

Hello there mate, you done any work on the Nova recentley? look forward to seeing it.

Been busy sanding and filling over the last few days and have pretty much completed the master for the front bumper.

It's been primed and from this I can see where the finer details need touching up (more to do with getting the lines right etc). I've even made the ends that go under the wings.

here's some pics...

And with it on the car - its only held in place by 2 screws behind the grill - no bumper brackets or owt (apart from the 2 little wooden sticks in each corner!) -

Now the front bumper master is pretty much complete the last coupld of days I've been working on my side skirts.

I carved these from foam a while ago to get the basic shape -

Theyre similar to the monaro ones (see prev posts).

Started by hot glueing the foam core to a length of wood to keep it straight. I then layed up a layer of fibreglass -

Since then (last Tuesday) I've covered both in filler and have been sanding like a nutter and both skirts are pretty much complete in terms of the basic outline shape. I'll post pics when I get chance...

Next step is to check the angles and add finer details hich include the vents at the front...

MK3 Nova?
