This is how I fitted the MM big bore to the Autoart Cosworth , I removed the complete exhaust system ,then cut the rear box leaving about 1mm so I could supa glu the alloy box onto it..Its gun metal(i sanded all the rough bits off) and I had run out of silver spray paint !

i think some of mm wheels wuld suit it, but if u r looking for a sort of standard look well then go with your r32 wheels, soz i cant give ya mine.
