Hey Mark,

That nose panel looks VERY, VERY good. The body line blending is really smooth and seemless.

Very good work
Thanks mate and we will be chating shortly after I've chatted with Beni ;D

those headlights are perfect, love them....
Thanks we are going to try them painted with matte black buckets so I'll post some more pics on them shortly but the light performance is very impressive

OK last pic for this evening (the D9 widebody - FARRRRR from finished yet but we will be starting a thread very shortly we promise detailing this project in full):

All looks awesome guys! I even like the twin lights and I thought I wouldn't. Nose panel looks slick too. What is it made from?

Great work!!

Where can we get those headlights? Did you buy the kits or make them yourself?

Holy **** that looks great!

What paint is that? When I eventually get my respray, I've decided that instead of going for the original Guards Red, I'm going with flat black, so I've been looking at something called Hot Rod Flatz...despite the embarrassing name, I've read a lot of good things about it. Still not sure, though. I'll be very interested to see how this paintjob does, keep us updated!

Mark - how much do the Dual Carrera GTS headlight units weigh? On your web-site write-up, it says 2.5Kg, but I see the shipping weight is 8.0Kg (I can't believe packaging material would be 5.5Kg!)

Sorry, I thought that was a racing team not a manufacturing shop. My error. Looks like I found my Christmas list.
Thanks

Reading this makes me briefly wish that I was not married, didn’t have a son and had no customers…! I fondly remember when I could dive into just one project….amazing what can be done when you are obsessed and nobody interrupts you!

Nice work.
