Brilliant stuff, cant wait to see it round knockhill!
Looks absolutley made mate, fair play to you. I know that the front looks very wide atm but as you say the wheels are wrong, this is going to brilliant once done, it should be really able to put the power down properley unlike the high powered front drive novas. Cant wait to see it with the kit on, if it ever arrives hey, Why not buy one from another manafacturer if theyre messing you around?
Well im gona get on the phone to them tomorrow and tell them to have it to me by friday or i want my money back. When i ordered the kit and bonnet they didnt wait weeks to take the money. And was also told 9 days maxQuote:

Dave
Im sure theres somebody on here with one for sale. I will go searching.
Fearless, you beat me to it lol
beautiful this is mad mate goodluck.
Word of advice on Magnum Motorsport, never use them again!!! I waited 12 weeks for 2 seats they said would take 1 week to make and deliver. How they still exist as a company is beyond me if they treat all their customers like this! Asking for my money back seemed to speed them up a little, give that a try maybe!
The car looks brilliant by the way, excellent piece of work.:)
Tried to call them 3 times this morning but dave the guy that seams to deal with things is never in :roll: even when i first called i was told he will be back in ten mins. So i have left the message for him to call me asap. Even if he could just get the rear quarters out to me to start with i would be happyQuote:

Will the bonnet close with strup tops of that size?
shame you didnt go to pro-tec for the kit. i got mine just over a week and is very well made kit
A 17" set of wheels will fit over the brakes if its a motorsport type wheel like Compomotive etcQuote:

And i got the kit with the sideskirts so if you want pics of that and the rear bumper just ask or any other ones
That widearch kit looks nice mate, have you started to try and fit it yet? Do you reckon it's going to take much messing around? Another company that makes them is SID, they sell them on ebay and are supposedley very well fitting, they arnt complete front wings or rear quarters but bond onto what you have already got obviously after cutting away whats not needed underneath.
Na i havent as yet. just held it up to see what it looks like. but even just doing that it looks like it will come together very easy as the wings are just bolt on
The ebay ones aint like that they only have a slightly bigger than standard arch to themQuote:

Yeh i supose that you are going to need the full width really because of the widetrack, if they ever manage to bother getting it to you in the first place hey.
Did the wide arches ever arrive mate?
No not yet :wtf:Quote:

I will just be using pins as it is really just a track car and not a show car lolQuote:

Yes it will be on the road but not an everyday car for sure cause ive just bought some 850cc injectors for it so MPG will be very low lolQuote:
