Thats realyyyyyy nice fella, well done.

The only thing I dont personaly like are the M3 mirrors (I rekon some DTM cups would give it a smoother appearance).

Top work.

love this car dude, seen it at ford fair, well parked next to it :rolleyes:
and at fitp, nothing that i would change apart from the install.

just the smoothness, from the roof rails to the skirts and arches being blended together.

awesome

Thanks for all the comments and replies guys.

Apologies for not getting back to you sooner but I've been so busy with work and then getting the car ready for National Day, plus my internet/computer has been playing up.

Anyway thanks again, I'll answer all individual questions etc. over the next few days.

By the way the re-trimmer went out of business, but that's another story!

Thanks

SPoOn, andyhardy, mixon, F22 JAM, dave_si, Robin, Sams Si, froggy-smp and sphinx thanks for all your positive comments.

This car has been nearly five years in the making and it certainly hasn't been a smooth of journey to produce a smooth car.

Positive comments from people who know what they are looking at/talking about really mean a lot, I'm glad you appreciate my vision.

When you've taken a car this far it's sometimes hard to see the positives and realise just how nice it really is, I spend most of my time looking at it and picking fault, it's not great being a perfectionist, believe me!

Thanks again for all your replies.

PUREtom :WHere did ya get the seats re-trimmed and how much it cost ya?


The retrimmer has since gone bust, disappearing with a fair chunk of my cash and a set of sideskirts!

A similar re-trim from Carisma or Transcal would probably be about a £1000!

My re-trim was cheaper than that, but only because the same company were doing my install at the same time.

I know what you mean. I love the front of my car when looking at it straight on, but when you look from an angle it looks kind of wrong. I think it's because of the Bad Boy Bonnet, the angle across the headlights just doesn't work when not looking at from directly in front. To be honest I think it would probably look better without the Bad Boy, just smoothed, but what is done is done.

Thanks
