I do very much like the idea of a modern car that looks like a D-Type though! Do you still have the original shell Chris? There are a few modern sports cars that could work, like a lotus elise or TVR Chimaera however they are a little too expensive to be used as a donor, even a banged up car would be £4-5k.
Hi Nick and Gaz. I'm a sucker for a slammed car These give a a 90mm drop:

That will leave a lovely big 20mm gap under the car for small gravel, flattened fag packets and the odd lolly stick that Seanick has left lying around

But seriously, until I have a Z3 to study in person, dimensions are just an estimate.



Reference the D Type shell, we have a mould.
