looks like a side exit rc40 like mine

[mini-man-dan]

Could well be. Tail piece is pretty damn long, stuck out about 8cm from the top edge of the valance on the saloon I had.

It looks like a fletcher exhaust. I know someone with one on their saloon and it does stick out quite away.

Those carbon bumpers and overiders are gorgeous,

cant wait to see it finished

[hystrix cristata]

Looking good on, are you going to try and get carbon headlamp rings?

[mini-man-dan]

I don't think so, no. I want to get a set of the smoked crystal crosshair Mk2 VW Golf headlights, but I'm buying necessities now (if you can call CF stuff necessities ) as I've run dry in the piggy bank! To be fair, I did order the CF stuff when I had money

[Clubby 73]

i was thinking when i saw the bumpers, have you considered a cf tailgate cover thingy? hope you know what i mean lol

pickups looking very tasty now, not long left surely?

That would cost an arm, and a leg, and other arm...
CF is very expensive, and the bigger you get the more expensive you get!
Would look lovely though.
And nope, not long yet! Can't wait to get it finished

crikey, that pick up looks quality and theres no doors and odd wheels on it!! good work, this is going to look amazing!!

[mini-man-dan]

The doors are on currently waiting to be painted by Brother dearest. And the wheels are off to be shot blasted this week
1st show it'll be attending is Bristol Mini Day on 6th June, can't wait! Just booked up the club stand

[silva_mini]

The finish on the paintwork looks really really good, did you put many layers of laquer on??

[mini-man-dan]

Yeah, loads . Hasn't been finished yet, still needs flatting back and polishing as some areas are quite orange peely as you can see in the close-ups of the rear bumper & exhaust. But my Brother didn't have the time when he painted the shell, so left it and said he'd do it when it's finished (just remove the headlamp rings, rear light lenses etc to get into all the corners).
