WRC Arches FTW then.....
I also like the look inside the arches of the original gobstopper *colour coded* whether that would be part of the kit I don't know.

I've also liked that. Finishes the job off nicely.

Everything about both GS's are big money.

A guy I know had the intensions of building a GS1 nut for nut & bolt for bolt the same. He had bought many of the parts then decided against the idea so put the parts up for sale again.
I nearly bought the billet wheel hubs for P2 but decided that 10K for the 4 of them (second-hand) was daft money, yet realistically cheap.

Theres so many things that we buy unnescessary.... Sometimes i find it like a drug that you're hooked up on.... People getting mods cause of the length of the list.... i'm glad i've learned my bit to have an idea of the purpouse of my car . and what i want it to be and not to go bancrupt...lol There's loads of good ones also....to serve their duty...

It's all about the balance i guess, in any stage of the car that you allow your self it to be at...

Totally agree with that mate. It can become a drug and finding the right balance is what it's all about.

That wing may be functional but it's horrendous.

Olly told me it will be ready for first round of time attack....

He will be practising in the old gobstopper aswell....as they run the same engine and are interchangeable.

Will need some practise to get back in the groove I suppose.

The new cars aero will take some getting used to....

I'd guess at a EFR unit if they move away from the stock frame Garrett items.

I love it! I love the spoilers/wings!

BUT

It has real rear lights - Why oh why does it have to have fake fronts :-( it looks like a stock car.

The "front end" (grille, bumper, lights, underfloor and splitter) is a one piece carbon fibre affair.
For lighting a series of LED's have been inserted around the lower edge of the Headlights

Ah ok, thats explains it. I thought they were countersunk quick release fittings for the plastic headlights.

At least put the stickers/painted on headlights like dragracers though!
