geeeza, that looks mint for a projet in progress. you getting it done? or doing it yourself?

are use original wings and quarters, or fibreglass? i reckon fibreglass, considering there fillered into the wings etc.

if they are fibreglass, are they flimsy or good quality? and where did you get yours from?

what colours it gonna be?

good luck.

p.s. guess we need to line em up together once they all done. lol

I got my kit for a silly price on ebay... and picked it up ASAP.. the dude tried to do it and couldnt so some bits were cut off...etc... but i got rid of so much look at the pics below i tried to keep all the metal lines and my bro moulded it.. he started working a bodyshop at the age of 16 hes probably one of the best guys i know for the job!

The kit was solid... no cracks and well coated but ive strenghted it again again!!! as i said i want it to be worth all the hard work in the end!!!

Ive probably done just only £300 worth of materials...so im CHUFFED!!! I want to spend the money on the important stuff like sounds, interior, and engine....!!!

To get a job done to such a standard it would cost bucks!! luckly i got my brother

lol, it is an advantage to know people like that. i myself have a mate who actually manufactures bodykits, one of birminghams largest suppliers, so any fibreglass issues go to him. lol.

looks good, but now i'm stuck in the middle, whether i should weld the original quarters or get fibreglass ones. if i'm right the fibreglass ones are complete wings, so no blending required, staright bolt ons ???

which bumpers you going for?

Im going for the m3 bumpers... with some added rifinements... to be honest im not making a replica so .. cos itlll look better and be faster than a real one HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! so people wont be able to chat Shi*t like they do!

But yeah its all black.. not the best though.. so im going cut out a few bits n retrim it up! Sorry mate!

Yeah theyre complete wings but the dont just sit out on you still got to blend it in.. cos then it will look funky allong the boot line etc... and they dont always line up.. thats were the fabrication bit comes in!
