You points about the donor are the main reasons I went for the BMW, the other being an automatic gearbox.
At the moment I think it is a one off kit but any car parked near Chris is fair game for a splash mould and therefor a future kit.
Best check directly with Chris but I have no issues with him repeating my idea.
Trying on some new wheels
Lovely heavy metal feel to the spinners. About and inch further out from the original alloys but still within the top of the wheel arch. 15" rims will allow a higher profile tyre without changing the clearance and gearing.
Roll on next week when Chris gets a chance to fire up the angle grinder, I mean spanners and screw drivers to carefully remove the excess.
If anyone wants BMW alloy wheels, Front or rear bumpers or wings, grill pieces, factory fit roll over bars and interior trim then just give me a shout.
I have left the wheels bare at the moment because of work getting in the way. Chris is going to sort out the tyres thankfully. I think he mentioned Falcon
It will be a Marathi. The Ferrari was just lying around so he tried it for size
Finally on a computer that allows me to post pictures so here goes.
Take a standard kit :
Take a large saw :
Some gaffer tape :
And you get the start of a car :
The arse has to be made a bit fatter but I really rather like this shot :
Wait until you see the frenched in rear lights and the pretty front end
That's not gaffer tape! It is prototype venting
garyh - the ones in rt pic aren't really frenched in but that is sort of the look we are heading for
Just googling stuff and sotted this
Seperated at birht ?
I agree about the Z8 being good from few angles. I saw one at the Wilton House Classic Supercar Show and was quite surprised how different it looked to the magazine photos. The Alfa 8C was another big disappointment as that actually looked ugly with a huge and disproportionate nose.
I am loving it from the pictures. Really looking forward to seeing it in reality.
I was worried that keeping the standard doors and hood would really clash and ruin the lines but it looks like Chris has pulled it off
Just me loving the back end to?
I reckon the bulged front wings work really well with the hip bulges.
I now it is my baby but I still say it looks great!
The advert does state Used as the condition...
I have to go and pick up the bits that are left over next weekend. I have bumpers, lights, chrome inserts, wheels, tyres, rubber roll over bars, interior plastic from behind the seats. All to go to ebay.
Also need to shift a mercedes CL 500. I had someone lined up until her insurance quote came in at over £2000
