Yeah made it.

It is a prototype though

Made by:
- taking off old scoop.
- cut cornflake box to create template
- mark out on a sheet of 2mm ally
- mark the vent slots
- take to a local machine shop to cut slots and bend them
- mark holes for the existing mounting holes
- spray to desired colour

All in all £20 tops.

From a photographers perspective it's REALLY handy to have something that stands out. We are looking down the track at a car travelling towards us at 130mph and squinting through a view finder... the front of the car doesn't look too different at the moment (except you are the only hawkeye ) Contrasting wing mirrors would be a big help

Clearly the car looks a little unfinished at the mo, and im well aware that it is. Lack of spoiler, front end graphics, grille badge etc will be the finishing touches.

However, as she stands at the moment, i think its gonna look stunning. I really like how its turning out. I think the hawkeye wears the widebody well and the graphics really suit the car.

It sounds daft, but if someone had done that to a standard road car i wouldnt like it. But this more than carries it off being a race car and having the power to match the exterior.

I think the wheels really suit the car and wouldnt change them in any way, and i really like the little touches such as the carbon vinyl inlay in the skirts, the reverse scoop and the different coloured mirrors.

Currently there is only one thing i think looks a bit naff, and thats your name on the rear window mate. I think the font is too small and it should be the length of the rear window...

People are gonna wanna clearly see who's in such a fine looking car.

Well done to everyone involved so far for getting it this far... looking forward to seeing more progress and your performance this coming season.

Best of luck

Mike B got them designed and made - ultra light weight and very good quality IMO.
