Here's a couple more pics of mine now it's slowly getting there, it's been wiring loom time lately 
and the answer is ...i'm doing as much as i can. I did half of the bodywork and then a freidn of mine has a bodyshop and they finished off the rest of the kit and then sprayed it.
By the way, this is my entry into the colour scheme option so that i can get mine rolling roaded when it's all back together.
And i have someone's signature of approval already ......

Minty, given the grille/bonnet gap mate, I take it they aren't for the same MY?
I take it you'll be swapping one or the other? I'd assume the bonnet, but since it already had 22B vents I wasn't sure.
BTW, looks well "minted"!
Edited to say, I just had another look and it looks like the bumper and grille is one-piece?
In that case, how you going to get the bonnet to sit nice with the grille given the shape of the grille?

Been ages since i last checked this thread out, it seems to be coming along nicely.
I'd personally say if your going the graphic path just stick to the 555 route and get it painted blue.

under the bonnet as i havent yet fitted the bonnet latch and catch & lead etc. so it will fit nicely once it's all back in place.

You tell me 
i got the kit from i guy who had listed it on ebay. He claimed that he imported it from Japan and then the car he was fitting it too pulled out on him and he was stuck with it so he was moving it on. It was a black hefty coplete kit... i'll try and grap soem early pics of it too.

did you not spot that ?
FWIW i prefere mintys over the HT Autos kit, but if i cant find a supplier of his, then i might settle for the HT autos version, when i get stuck back into the car next summer.

Thats true, i have got an ally tank in the boot of mine.
I guess it's gonna get some looks filling the car up through the boot at a filling station
but none more than i will prob get when it growls into the petrol staion and the external wastegate is going off down the road i'm sure they'll hear me coming

The kit on mintys is, I think, from this place....
http://www.mature-jp.com
Go to CATALOGUE page, and then to the GC8 car...
A lot more expensive than the HT Auto's kit, and a bit harder to get it over here...Like everything in this life, you get what you pay for..

They will supply the 3dr or 4dr kit and let you fit it yourself
- I wouldnt recommend it to anyone though Ive just fitted a 5 door kit to a wagon, but its a little different to most David

Forgot this topic was in fact started by the Scoobyclinic lads...
Does anybody (Scoobyclinic, or Mr D Wallis) have pics of the Scoobyclinic 4 door kit...? Especially the rear door/wheel arch area..
