  • Loving it, Al. The carbon washers are a great touch

    Totally needs some all-red tails, though. The rest of the car is so modernised that that original ones look a bit out of place (?)

    I didn't like the colour at first, but it's growing on me now, especially with all the polished alloy to set it off. Will look mint once you get the polished cage back in

    • Yer tails are an interesting one, they are the most standard thing on the car, was toying with crystals , may still go that route.
      The color does pop and suites the carbon chrome flip me thinks.

      Fun times

            • As stated this car is absolutely mint. However do you realise how careful you will have to be with everything, and the amount of cleaning needed

              I can imagine, if the door, bonnet, boot, fuel cap or anything gets slammed or closes wierdly, it'd damage your paint. Haha its at times like these that the rat style is cool. Dont get me wrong, this is an incredible peice of work
