Just went through both of your build threads.

I can see you have very great taste in you cars!

Feel bad for the black one but time to move onto bigger and better things is what i feel.

RS looks perfect!! Would love to get some compomotive wheels like yours

Had a spare few hours on my hands earlier before getting to work again, so decided to tidy up the pod a bit.

Wasn't really happy with the overall standard of the mould, but that was o.k. because it wasn't meant to be spot on. But since show season and track days are looming, thought I'd give it a bit of a once over.

Most of these pods are made using the actual headlamp unit, but since I just made a whole mould using the clear lense, I bought some aluminium and shaped it over the edges to make it all look flush and give the impression as if there is some kind of unit attached to the duct.

Just gave it a rub down before it all get's painted in gloss black, and the brackets are only in place for measurement purposes, something nicer going there

Loads more updates, but only had time to take these pics

Painted, laquered and buffed it (hence the white marks you might see in sections).

Pics don't really do it justice, but I don't have time to take nice pics of it fitted on the car.

Loads more updates coming

Did you get the clock surround pod thing off a chap on ebay by anychance? I got one a while ago and it wasn't so great - the ID of the hole was too small so the gauge didn't slide in easily, soon as i pushed a little it all fell to bits

Oh yeah, car looks alright - blah blah blah

Nah mate, no Ebay jobby Only have a 52mm oil gauge, fits in a treat. Will be fine for the boost gauge. You must have bought a dud mate

have to be honest, i prefered your RS with the standard headlights and the gloss white wheels, looked mint on the car. I'd recommend a set of US rear lights, they look sweet!
