How do you spell Attention Whore?

Uwaga dziwko! - in my language :)

W. C. A. in mine! :-)

Have you checked out the new AC Cobra Mk. V1 GTSR 2014 model?

It has a few modern touches to it. Big front spoiler, hood scoop, led tail lights and a Ferrari Style rear diffuser and a 300K price tag ! Maybe some ideas from this could appear on the Tribute Kobra if people liked them. Although many will still prefer the original style.

Yes please! I love the more aggressive look and modern twist on this classic. It looks almost like the love child of a cobra and a modern Aston Martin.

Yes, a lot of nice ideas. Would hope to stay away from the 300K price tag though :biggrin:

It is a bit like what Donkvoort have done with the Lotus 7

Can't wait to see a finished example!

Looks of a cobra with everyday drivability, sounds like a winner to me!

More pics please

If Tribute can replicate this....

Then put me down for the 1st order!

If many of you like the the AC Cobra Mk. V1 GTSR then check out this hi- tech modern version of another Cobra called the Iconic AC roadster.

Some might not be too keen on the lights but it really looks a mean machine.
Now, if Tribute can create a mix of the GTSR and the Iconic Roadster I´m sure the will have a winner in their hands.

It isn't that different from Chris' rendering, faired in at the front and wider arches are the main changes. It wouldn't take a huge amount of work.
Take a Z3M with its 330 bhp as a base and you would have the performance to match the looks.

Tempting, must finish my mx250 though.

It was always our intention to go with more "modern" styling features on the Kobra (German for Cobra BTW), I have always liked the BACKDRAFT COBRA, blacked out chrome, black alloys with low profiles, LED versions of traditional lights etc.

I really like the GTSR. We have the original Z3 front bumper/spoiler that Geoff has kindly donated from his SWB project, that has a good lower lip as a starting point. We also have moulds for an E Type Jag bumper that are similar to the splitters in the front air intakes. The rear spoiler looks very much like an MX5 one, have a couple of those. And this looks good for the diffuser:

Game on!

When do you want a deposit chris!

the new fiat 500 has the round version LED headlights i think, with them being fiat may be cheap enough.

Was thinking more along the lines of these:

How aboot these ones, eh? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Universal-...item5d3b6db20e

I thought I was almost finished building cars, I'm now on to campervans stop with the temptation, I want one. (AC cobra style front hard top fast back ona Z3)

Having a read back to the start I see somebody has asked aboot removing the BMW windshield already, surely this is the way to go with this one,eh? I don't think the tall glass works well with this 1950/60's style. Although, with the depht of snow here in Canada maybe a good windshield, wipers, electric roof and AC would be a good idea? How cold is it in England?

I feel the best part of the tribute kits are so they are a simple 'bolt on' kit that the everyday joe bloggs can build and still retain the practicallity of a daily use car. start choping windcreans and that just puts it with all the other 'sunday driver' kit cars.
I want to be able to use the car any time i want, wind, rain, snow and then just pop the roof down on a sunny day!

Chris, do it. I too would buy the kit .

Cheap donor...
