It started with regular GT3 fitted with a 2001 Cup rear wing, and then the owner went for a full GT3R bodywork uppgrade (the work was carried out by Paragon)

IMHO, getting the Cup front bumper and wing is cool, but going more extreme is not worth it.

That UK based Speed Yellow GT3 (orig reg V368EGM) was jointly owned by myself and Robert Gant (Gantspeed Engineering) - we sold it to the guy who then had it moded to an R.
