Notable exceptions to this of course are the likes of Phantom, Ultima and the soon to be released DP Attack but the common link for all these is the cost - they are expensive and out of reach to the majority of kit car followers. Cheaper attempts tend to be just that, cheap, and sometimes nasty. Getting the balance just right is a challenge I don't think the manufacturers are willing to commit the time or money to.

So what if some one built a reasonably good looking kit car with a build budget of say less than £5k?
