Na,no scrubbin,even on full bore. plenty of clearance due to the wide arches...Very hard suspension and stretched tyres(195/45's) helps though. Go kart handling!!!! very rapid,very scary.he cant wait to get it on the pod to see what she runs

Yes keep the chrome and lights exactly as they are,

They are why it looks sooo spot-on!!! And love the Cossie rim's. They're a great touch!

I want one!
