I see you were at Zandvoort today,i was too but i missed your car.I must have walked by ...........

IanA · #46 2nd August 2015, 22:01

Given the interest being shown in the pic- maybe a replica Figaro next?

y cymro · #47 2nd August 2015, 23:37

That's an excellent job - well done.
The rear wheel arches look wider than usual. Are they altered?

mobilerobbie · #48 3rd August 2015, 05:21

no alterations to the body at all, its just the wheels that make it look wide.
Regarding the Figaro's: I happen to be the biggest Mainland Europe distributor of Figs....
I especially waited till no one was near the car, but that was hard to do....

Reneanglia: If you have missed my car, you must have missed out on everything, there was HUGE interest in the car, parked up in front of the Meguiars show booth....

The paint on that looks stunning! Also really like the side indicator deletion.

Can I ask, as I'm thinking of going black on the Kalifornia, how many hours prep it took to get that finish?

WorldClassAccident · #51 17th August 2015, 14:24

I am not a pro like mobilerobbie and I sanded my original red temporary paint down ready for the paint shop in about 4 weekend probably spending4-6 hours each day.

A mixture of had sanding with various grits of paper and an electric DA sander. The trouble with the electric sanded is there are a LOT of curves and you need to be careful to avoid flat spotting them.

It went from this

To this

Well I'd be more than happy with that! Nice job. I think the swb has some pretty heavy mold lines on the rear haunches tho.

mobilerobbie · #53 18th August 2015, 14:55

My logos are finally ready.
Alu looking Ferarri style brand name

F*&%Ck the prancing horse, it's a kicking mule you're after....

Now my Stirling Moss stickers to be added and then its fine with me.

Very Andy · #54 18th August 2015, 15:06

I was thinking along the same lines after seeing Andy Sharrocks Road Runner badge.

This one is a prancing Road Runner designed by yours truly, bit of a pisstake on the horse thing and a homeage to the Z3 also.

and the Chrome version ....

DSG4ME · #55 18th August 2015, 16:04

Nice one Very Andy, I like the Roadrunner logo.

There are a lot of different versions going around.

Rear script looks great but prancing donkey - don't do it!! Long standing joke in F replicas and after a minutes mild amusement it detracts from the quality of the car you've produced.

Why not go with Pininfarina badge? Not a lie to say it's their styling! I was thinking of going with the Farina F badge on the bonnet - lots of PF styled cars use it
