I could arrange to bring them across at the weekend for you

 

Would they fill the arches ok mate with the extensions I have planned?
PM me the price please and thanks Jura

 

I think on your planned extension and some spacers(maybe you don't need them for fill arches) will be look just spot on

PM on the way shortly

Jura

 

Cool mate many thanks

 

they will be a bit to narrow bud

 

Thats what I thought mags,i think you will be having a order soon mate

 

Finished yet Ry?

 

Not yet mate,had stacks of work on lately including a number of members cars,have a look in projects for the latest ones

 

I did see Ian's car looks great! I'll be doing mine myself hopefully !! I'll give you a shout if I need a hand

 

No worries just let me know,you could always come down over a weekend and do it at my workshop if you like so all the tools/airlines etc are at hand

 

Car has finally made the workshop and will slowly start to be worked on when time allows,first job will be to mock up the position of the ABW arches and get the riv nuts in place to hold them and cut the roof vent into the roof.
Pics to follow.


Wheels have been chosen and will be collected in around 2 weeks.
I have Adam Knight to thank for them as there coming off his wide arch type r,cheers mate

 

Can't wait to see it

 

Updated list of mods to be carried out
Roof vent
ABW arches
Cabon GT style spoiler
Rear diffuser
Front bumper canards[carbon]
Carbon mirrors
Alu flat boot floor
Battery/washer bottle relocation to boot
Rear alu fire wall
facelift front bumper with genuine P1 splitter
loads of engine bay smoothing/wire tucking
Rotated inlet manifold

Also will be fitting some more suspension mods like cusco adjustable top mounts I've purchased along with poly bushing the rear subframe when I remove it to paint all the under pinnings.

 

What turbo are you sticking on the rotated inlet

Those under-pinnings will put mine to shame, I'd best pull my finger out

 

Sound plans there buddy

 

Not to sure yet Jon on turbo choice,time will tell there but I want the inlet turned as it shortens the pipe work but also looks very nice lol.
The under pinnings should look very nice as I'm going to paint eveything,get yours off and down to me soon and you will beat me

Thanks Merv,I'm going for a time attack ish look!!

 

Little chance of that, the car becomes the daily hack from a week on Monday

Might have to buy a cheap little runabout
