Is it normal to come in your underwear when looking at photos like these cause I just did.
Very nice mate, don't know that I would have quite so much carbon but either way it looks awesome.

Had these sat in the parts Department for 3 years or so.

So it was time to get them out of storage and sort them out.

Bought them brand new from Compomotive, but the paint finish was pretty bad, but to be fair it's to be expected as they are a motorsport wheel after all.

Just recently had them repainted, and they are now wearing Michelin Pilot Super Sports, & now fitted to the car.!

Also with matching Imperial Blue & white RS centre caps, and Blue Anodised nuts and tyre valves.

Currently in the process of producing some more bespoke Carbon fibre parts.
These will be ready shortly & I will post pics of them up, along with some new interior parts..

This is just some of the parts we have made over the years.!

Some updated pics of the engine bay..!

Now fitted with the following Zircotec ceramic coated parts ...

AET Garrett GTX3076RS ( Garrett & Tial housings )

Peron Down Pipe

Peron Screamer Pipe

Tial MVR-44 External wastegate

Ignore the V-bands , they will be spun around to hide the bolts.




















Next up is the Progress update on the interior side of the build.

If all goes to plan I'm hoping to have the Interior fully completed and installed next month, they we can crack on to get the rest of the car finished once this is out of the way.! Getting ever so closer..

Anyway, here is some of the parts we have been working on for a very long time.

CARBON FIBRE FRONT DOOR INSERT TRIMS
CARBON FIBRE REAR DOOR QUARTER TRIMS
CARBON FIBRE DOOR GRAB HANDLES
CARBON FIBRE DOOR RELEASE SURROUND TRIMS
CARBON FIBRE DOOR RELEASE HANDLES
CARBON FIBRE RECARO REAR BENCH HINGE TRIMS
CARBON FIBRE RECARO REAR BENCH RELEASE BUTTON TRIMS

Love it.. The only thing I don't is the wheels.. On a car so bespoke it needs something totally different.. Maybe carbon wheels lol
