After a bit of debating we weren't happy with the rear wings so we sanded them down and did the again, we're now going to rub the whole car down with 2500 paper and machine polish the lot.

Nice job on the loom
I love this project - no idea how I missed this last year - but looking forward to reading more updates.
I like a lot of what you're doing - wheels especially are epic! The only thing I'm not sure about is the carbon wrap on the roof. A real carbon roof is fine, (got one on my 3dr), and I can see the benefit of wrapping your rear arches to protect them too; but after going to great lengths to perfect your paint job (which looks great btw) it seems a shame to pretend to have a carbon roof.. just my opinion and I appreciate it's yours to do with as you please! I chose to paint mine to keep it std looking, so each to their own
All the best
Iain

I understand where your coming from but we. Thought it was a bit different and a real carbon roof inset in the budget, but we can always pull it off down the line.
