Sure is Arch. Going to try and make it as light as I can realistically get away with for a road car. Retaining elec front windows and heater. However all other creature comforts will go.
Going to go T45 on the cage too to try and get her properly trim. Hoping to achieve 1350kg inc cage once I'm done.

Pmsl Arch.
Temping as I don't use it in winter anyway. Lol. But I think as it's staying a road car the heater can stay.

Looking better. Still reserving full judgement until they're fitted though

Cheers gents. Gotta get them painted and fitted up alongside her new splitter etc.
I've a few other ideas too to make it look really aggressive.
Just can't wait to get her all caged and painted so I can start putting it back together.
Might fit my rear APs this week too as I'm getting more anxious to fit them. Lol

Then my rear Brembos will be repainted and go up for sale.

Hmmm I'm not sure looking at them sat there but I'm sure that they'll look the dogs once fitted as it has the frayz Magic touch

Bit of a risk mate as I know they're a bit big and aggressive, but If i decide I don't like em, I can always do something else.
I think once painted they will look a lot better.

Rather belated, but I'm just catching up on the thread. I'm not always a fan of fitting WRC bits on plain looking cars, but you have the Scoob to justify it and this looks mean as ****: love it!

(and I would love to know where you source all these trick WRCar bits!)

Well that's just a sketch, will probably be a load different to that, but something like that. Haha.

Well that's it, she's now living in Wales for a month having the cage done. Looking forward to building it back up once she's done. Cage is full custom T45 so should keep the weight down. I couldn't believe the difference when holding the tubes compared to CDS. Amazing!

Seen that material used before on the splitter dam, I didn't use it as it has a tendancy to tear.

See how I get on Arch. This is a genuine S12 tarmac piece and seems to take a fair amount of abuse on the works cars that are running a lower ride height than I.
We'll see. ��
