Ok time for an update ,this is from the last couple of weeks donig bits here and there on the car Sealed up the tray ,just want to get some paint on this for the winter and will prob spend a day on it next summer tidying it up.


O/s floor done and painted


Inside of bulkhead ,note lightweight loom

n/s front done


Had a tiny hole behind the rear bumper on the inner skin ,popped down the scrappy and cut a mint one from a car to cut in .
Old cut out


Ring sticker applied from recent visit

New one welded in


Aerial hole and wiper hole blanked with carbon


Also deceided to trim the rear bumper as i think its quite an air brake the way it hangs down past the back panel

All the under body will be going black ,along with the rear panel thats seen

Clear front indicators fitted

more soon

Like what your doing but what you did to the rear bumper is a tad odd. Surely the air under the car would already be turbulant that it wouldnt make that much impact

Indeed!

I reckon, cut the wheel well out, make an undertray for the whole car, then you can lead up to the mother of all rear diffusers. Then add massive front and rear wings, smaller wings at every other point you can fit them in, cannard, the works.

Though that might be a touch excessive

Ok update time ,as the weather was good spent some time on it today ,got the welding done on both sills at the back ,also took the lips off both wheel arches and started to rub down the body kit and cut it to fit ,also cut out the wheel well in readyness for the carbon panel.
Got hold of some dtm mirrors the other week so got them rubbed down and painted and fitted





Test fit of kit, still to be trimmed properly.

taking the lip off the arches





More soon
