nice little body kit would look nice just extend on the standard bumpers like your done on the front looks smart then add some black wheels and spray it silver or a metallic lime green would look good mate.
escortoldskool is a tool mate ever since he's been on here i haven't liked him.

just take them completely off or cut the end of and add some new or if you want to have the exhausts come out the back u can buy some aluminium tubing in B&Q very cheap buy two so one fits in the other 1 its a tight fit but it looks good its all i use, used it on my green capri on page 183.

i've thought of that already and to take them off completely means i have to take the engine out aswell as there moulded to it!!

i want them coming out the back as i want it to look a bit like the gts coupe version of the viper but im also having trouble finding a viper gts bonnet

i cant say much as ive never tried to do a body kit myself, but from what ive seen the other guys do i recon it needs shaping a bit more, its hard to tell while its at that stage. if u read some of the other threads they keep adding primer to see how the shape is coming on
