That does look GOOD. This isn't a criticism, but I can't help wondering if the panel behind the side glass could be filled with a suitable small side glass of similar shape, or maybe flat glass? - perhaps that's the design detail not yet included?

original was flat glass with a shallow alloy frame.
"Pop outs on hinge" |
Looking great!
You must be really excited! |
That is looking very very good. Must be very pleasing to see this come to fruition after a long development period.
I don’t know if Chris and Dan read the forum but if they might. Well done guys ! Looking forward to seeing the first babies out the moulds and subsequent first build(s). Dave |

I am using the same wheel and tyre combo as ericholm. Same wheels

What size were they, I'm thinking big alloys for my car too. Possibly staggered 17"or 18" x 8" / 9".
|
I'll have to look them up when I get home. They are Calibre Classic

Chris sent me a couple more shots with the alloys. As the boys ck has standard suspension, the rear is actually the other front. My car has adjustable suspension( not noticeably harder than std but definitely more sensitive) . The rear is slightly larger
|
What a super looking car. TBH it's going to take me a while to love that front but I'm looking forward to seeing the finished job. At Stoneleigh obviously.

You need to look beyond that bright blue paint ! Imagine it in a period 1960's colour, the car will look stunning. The bright chrome grill will need to be toned down a bit and with the additional light covers etc, the finished result should be first class !

Front 17" x 8 ET35, 225/50/17, 5x120 The wheel arches have been built around these. |

There are these new fake spoked wheels if the budget allows https://www.imagewheels.co.uk/db3-alloy-wheel/ |
The price compares very well to genuine chrome or stainless wires if buying new and adding in a set of spline adaptors. They would be a talking point for sure especially in the larger sizes, they go up to 18".
|
I really like those. I'd still go for the 15's though.

Can't get much better than that for a production windscreen on that car.
