It looks NOTHING like your old car you sheep ranger! Your's was freaking gorgeuos, his is mean looking. Ofcourse he probabaly has a less familiar relationship with "wool"!

How are ya mate? GREAT to see you around here! I miss your input!

For those who don't know, NZ is a bit of a leesion around here...ooops I meant "legend".

If you REALLY want to learn about various, REAL, research into our cars, search his name. He never met a "probe" that didn't make him hard!
SERIOUSLY, he busted his ***, on his 951, and it was one of the best.

Nice to see you Andrew. Hope you're enjoying the house and the career. email me!

Here's a teaser pic of the new headlights and nose panel. Just in test position so not perfect yet.
I'll email you the exact dimensions. I have NZ's mod saved. Email me, and I'll dig it up. You have to mod the stock panel.

Yeah it took quite some modding, mostly to clear the radiator and stuff behind. I'm sure it doesn't look quite as good as yours will, but I haven't the skills to add the vents to a 951 panel!

Actually I sourced a 951 and 931 nose panel in the US and had them sent to Dan / xsboost who did the mods and sent it primed and ready to paint so the accolades go to him. Wound up sending me a spare that I might use on the trackcar. The irony was that only a few days before they turned up, a woman reversed into my car, crushed in the stock panel and drove off. I saw her at the lights, got in my car and followed her and pulled her over. She said "Oh I thought I just touched it" Wound up giving me more than the price of the two 95/31 panels cost me shipped...in cash. 'Bout the first piece of luck I've had with this car lemme tell you...
So thanks E but I'm good at this point. I do remember Andrew's car though and it looked very nice. In fact I'm sure it's in this thread.

Benny your car looks great and you should be rightfully proud. As for the 931 panel, I actually thought it is a different shape too and unable to be fitted to ours, but it looks great on your car. Just like a bought one.

Can I get in on that action please fella ? It's a mod I WILL do on mine at some point in the near future.

Thanks to whoever verified that was zermatt, it was just what I wanted to see - I'd thought about doing my rims matt black and that's just cemented the decision !

Your car looks so nice. The air splitter looks really good with a black 951.

Thanks. BTW, I paint it with 3M rubberized coating...road crud just bounces off and it looks good up close too.

Ballistic, its a GT racing 'glass rear bumper cover and the wing is theirs too. The wing is flat black and the bumper cover is car color. BTW, notice the Fabspeed tip actually reaches past the cover to the stock position -- about 3" past the cover... They are going to re-make the muffler tip for me over the winter, but keep that in mind if you go with the bumper...your stock muffler postion needs to be moved in IMO.

BTW, that is rear cover #2. A kid backed into it about a year ago and it cracked easily, as it should have. This one is the replacement... just so you know to take care if you install.
