It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown!

Just kidding!

I couldn't resist...

It looks very clean.
Any other body mods, other than the side skirts?

Looks like you have done a nice job, you'll have a job losing that in a carpark! Where are the skirts from, and let's have another pic from the front to see what's going on with the nose.

It will look even better once you get the lime green mock crock interior installed!

Cheers

how well do the skirts fit and do they interfere with the jackpoints?

glad to share with you enthusiasts! the number of tasks involved in completing this project has really kept me busy, and thats in an advisory role. i was fortunate to find a shop with which i could entrust the task that was close by to where i am staying as the project evolved while the work progressed. mods from standard include: colour, arancio atlas (lamborghini murcielago colour); rear spoiler delete; gts rear arches; fibreglass front end; deletion of side rubbing strips; cup mirror update; windscreen channel update; modified vauxhaul sideskirts (they interfere with the jacking points).

it took me a while to settle on a colour, i really wanted something bright as the previous colour was old fashioned and a bit too subtle for my taste. now that ive got it i am also glad to have a black car!

i think it needs a supercharger, some black detailing and a carbon interior... blue flames maybe?

Ahhh.. I was wondering about the rear arches, the reflections sort of show them but the even shop lighting hides the form. Was that OEM steel panels you fitted or fibreglass ones? I've been thinking of steel ones for a while - one of these days I will jump. If they were steel did you patch the lower portion from the old arches?

I was a bit flipant on my first post but the more you look at that colour the more there is in it to see. very nice.

Cheers

So are your wheels and tires going to fill out the fenderwells in the rear? Or are you going to need some bigger shoes?

Looks cool so far!
