Micky1Mo - The car looked good in the various photos from Stoneleigh.
Can I just double check what the kit is going to be called?
( Spyder vs. Alpha )
As for the "spats", I think they would need a straight bottom edge, flush with the bodywork.
Which certainly worked for Jaguar.
Although my (limited) understanding is it was usually spats with steel wheels & no spats with wires.
Good luck, Paul.
