Hey dean i am just about to start and prep my shell fot the kit. i was wanting to no if you would mind taking a few pics of the side vents on the rear as they are just amazing. Dont suppose i could be very cheekie and as for some rough measurments of where they have been positioned as well so i can get a rough idea?

Alright Alex
i recon its just the way the picture is taken to be fair . Thought about modifying them so they were flush...... ive made up the perspex and heated it so it fits into the chrome part of the rear light but im not sure


nice 1 people, got such a grin on my face. I would have cracked on this weekend but the sodding weather. just bought a 6" polish kit for the bench grinder so anything that isnt shiney will be by tuesday if its tipping down all weekend!!!

For future reference its best not to use washing up liquid when fitting windows. Washing up liquid contains quite a lot of salt, so any liquid left trapped under the seal will try and eat away at paint and metal.

Looking superb though dude! Really liking that exhaust exit!

[dean_chad]

care was taken so it didnt get on the paint, i only used it in the bead chanel and on the bead.......... covered me though!. reference noted! cheers jammy

Does your rear valance cause a problem when lifting the shell over the cage?or is this just the race spec kit? I am busy chopping out the car and remembered chris mentioning this problem. Just i love the smooth back end look which you have got and i was just thinking that if i have to take the valance off to allow the cage to fit in the shell then thins could cause a problem, as it would have to be bolted on afterwards unless i welded some tabs on to the valance to accept it from the inside but there would always be a seam i guess??


Cheers

i took the old valance off before fitting the cage the first time. I added a new valance then remonved the cage to spray the inside, i remember it being a little difficult but i didit on my own and never bent anythin although there were a few scratches on the inside!!!
