Default Finally Painted

Hi All

It has been a while since I last posted here had to set up a new profile, but I have now finally put some paint on the car and thought it was worth posting a few pics



Thanks
Stuart

Looks fantastic Stuart, I love the twin fans out the front.
When I get a new radiator and do the ducting in my snout I want to fit this fan setup as it looks so right.

Superb Stuart! Black looks so great, particularly when stripeless.

Great job, where did you get the rear wheel spats, they look like they fit perfectly?

Regards.

Making me envious mine isn't finished now Stuart.

What size rims and tyres have you got on yours?

Cheers

Steve

Very nice Stuart. I nearly did black as well.

Great job. Wheels look great too.

Thanks guys I am really happy with how it turned out, its not the best paint job I've seen but it better than primer and flat black. Just the interior to go.
Hopefully this week.

Mando the splats were made by g-force he did a great job, they fitted perfectly without any modification.

Slowly my rims are 8 x 17 with 255 tyres on front and 10 x 17 with 315 tyres on the rear, backspace was worked out by the guy at g-force. However there was a stuff up with the rear end modification and I had to use 1 inch spaces. But I am pleased how is sits. There is a photo in my gallery that has a photo before I fitted the spacers the rear wheels looked wrong.

I think the best part of the build is the final assembly put all the shiny bits on.

Next phase is more power.

Thanks
Stuart

Stuart

What's are the tyre profiles?

I'll use your tyre sizes to guesstimate if I can go something in 295/50/15's for the rears for now but am contemplate 17" rims down the track too.

Cheers

steve

Steve,

Sorry for the slow response,
They are 45 series on the front and 35 series on the rear.

Thanks
Stuart
