adamj29 133 Report post Posted February 29, 2016 Update on the build. The car is in the bodywork garage and over the weekend there has been some great progress. The majority of the cutting has been done (everyone cringes). The arches have been fixed in place temporarily whilst making good of the bodywork is being done. The Seibon carbon spoiler has been fitted and reinforced internally with some glav plate, this will be removed for some further paintwork (the end stabilizers haven't been fitted either yet). The arches as you can see, fit lovely. Where they have been trimmed there has been some minor filling to smooth it all off, but apart from this they are perfect, I'm dead chuffed. A big thanks again to Nigel. The boot lid and front bumper require patching where the OEM spoiler / plate holder sat. Then the arches, skirts, front lip, boot lid and front bumper are to be prep'd and sprayed and fitted. And also the APR Forula wing mirrors and to be done. Waiting on the gold aluminium rivnuts to come in and then we are away. 5 Tareim, Keethos, Lauren and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

adamj29 133 Report post Posted March 14, 2016 Update - Work in the bodyshop is now nearing the end. All the major work is now complete. The arches and skirts have been painted over the weekend, and have come out great. My concern was getting a close match to the pearl white, but Lee has done a brilliant job. Spraying of the front bumper and boot today, then time to reassemble. Hoping it will be ready for Wednesday. Looking forward to getting these bad boys on!!! The next update will hopefully be the finished product later this week, all being well. 6 Gringosteve, Deacon, MangoNo5 and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The tyre lettering makes a hell of a difference. Worth the money 😊 Have you got your new bolts yet? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

adamj29 133 Report post Posted March 17, 2016 There has been a rather big set back. The wheels don't want to fit. The rears require additional camber so the arms are on order. And the fronts.... well the fronts......(stay calm....must stay calm). The biggest issue with the fronts if the fact I can turn with these wheels on. When turning, they rub at the front and rear of the arch. So further bodywork is required to get these babies to fit. I know if I change the tyre profile or If I ordered new smaller outer sections of the alloy I will be able to get them to fit. But I simply don't want to change the wheel / tyre set up. So once again the grinder will be coming out. Unfortunatly this means the car won't be ready for another few weeks. It won't be ready for the Tuning Developments Open Day which I'm gutted about, but it will all be worth it. Anyway hope you guys enjoy the nearly finished article. 2 MangoNo5 and Deacon reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
