Good tips, midnight blue sounds good. No other side on shots of the allow wheels, you know how cramped it can be there.
I am using the same wheel and tyre combo as ericholm. Same wheels
I'll have to look them up when I get home. They are Calibre Classic
Chris sent me a couple more shots with the alloys. As the boys ck has standard suspension, the rear is actually the other front. My car has adjustable suspension( not noticeably harder than std but definitely more sensitive) . The rear is slightly larger
Chris has kindly had a play.
Rear 17" x 8 ET35 235/55/17, 5x120
Front 17" x 8 ET35, 225/50/17, 5x120
The wheel arches have been built around these.
I think Chris is calling it the Tribute Z3GT
The problem is getting the right curve radius top to bottom and side to side, as well as width and depth. It has to be long, as given the rake of the back, you can end up with a narrow slit for rear vision.
Generally, yes, but without offering it up to the body/roof, you cannot tell. The car is wider than the 250swb which took either an mgb or replica of original.
Front Mould
Chris sent this today
Send Chris an email, I don't have any pics, I have been mainly concerned about how he gets the outside to work.
The Barchetta looks good. I saw That somewhere, not the images you have, it looked a little darker. Chris should do well with his version.
The one detailed on FB is mine. Chris is starting the build this week. I decided to go the dark/midnight blue route as LLM suggested as i have the Calibre wheels and M3 wing mirrors.
Well, my invoices from Tribute have 20% vat.
Pics
Some pics, I hope to pick it up this week and finish off some small bits and pieces, including the finish to the headlight surrounds (very close shape and size to some famous ones) and the window surrounds.
