I need a spare bootlid then I'm fitting it all up...the wing I have at the moment is actualy plastic but it's merely so I can mess around when fitting it all up.
If I like it I'll buy a super wide c-west jobie...
That's certainly a interesting way round doing it.

I've got some 3 ply carbon here which I could do that with, I guess my concern is their going to need to be just under 20" tall and I'm hanging a composite 6ft wide spoiler off them so I want to be sure they won't snap !

I guess I'll have to try it out in steel so I know the design is right then cut the carbon.

What resin did you use ?

Cool car though, you will no doubt be buying parts off my mate at driftbitz, if you haven't already !

I'll look into it.

Gav breaks a lot of nissans so he should always have something if your stuck.

Also need to find another bootlid to cut up a little to fit the wing.

Fitted aerocatches to front bumper for quick release,fitted a 50mm steering wheel spacer...junked the original handbrake...




Rear bumper smashed up a bit ,since these pics at the last drift day...easily repaired with some zip ties tho
