I suppose I could speak to Mark @ HT Autos and ask him to supply a standard cover and then get it modified and wrapped.

I was thinking a circle carbon surround or some kind of trumpet even a vinyl wrap would work. The silver in the cold air feed stand out a little for me.
Car looks sweet tho. what power will she be running ?

I've just finished off the running in mileage, the car is having a Litchfield LM400 Billet turbo fitted at the moment plus I've sprung a leak from behind the timing cover. I'm fairly sure it's one of the camshaft seals leaking.
Once that is all sorted I'll be taking the car up to Bob Rawle for a Simtek install and map, and I'm hoping for around 430BHP and a similar torque figure - but with a twin scroll it's all about the way that they accelerate.
Thanks for the kind words, I really like your car it's a real sleeper and would frighten many a supercar.

Ah right get you now, yes I suppose I could source a carbon trumpet or get the current trumpet wrapped - I hadn't thought of that TBH good idea.

I did originally say I'd have one of those and then I cancelled it , but I tried getting in touch with E_M_B and he didn't return my PM after Scoobynet had stopped him from selling on the GB due to some problem with him not being an authorised advertiser.
I think the mirrors look far better when seen in person, they are genuine WRC carbon fibre mirrors and cost a fortune and they look far better than some of the CF mirrors I've seen.
I think I will be changing the intake trumpet for a carbon fibre item, just to keep it more in keeping with the rest of the car.

Thanks, I've not seen one in the flesh but they do look good quality and knowing RCM the fit will be good as well.

the car looks stunning mate, very well done, but why you have the fmic on have you thought about a standard sport bonnet, the car would look subtle even sleeper like, but when you see one with reverse carbon scoops you automatically expect power, just my opinion though

Thanks, the quality is really good and it'll be on the car later.
White is the new black but we all know WR blue is THE fastest colour.
I know flossy is quite the tease.
I know what you mean about the sleeper bit, but the reverse vent will help to drag the hot air out of the engine bay plus the RCM vent is .

Here you go, some pics from just after fitment - the car does need a good clean and that's what it will be getting tomorrow.
These pics were taken on my iPhone so apologies for the quality, once the car has been cleaned I'll post up some better pics.
I'm really pleased with how the new vent looks, I only wish I'd chosen it to begin with.
