I will probably have wander over on the Sunday. Must remember to leave the For Sale in the window when I park - offers over £20,000

Also saw you leaving early with an engine sticking out of your boot - good move to miss the rain

I saw it - also think I saw the same block for sale with a wine bottle in it?

Reminded me of this at the Classic Le Mans 2014

So who built/owns that? Bumpers as well and I can't quite make out the script on the boot. Also has the same small sill covers as Smash's car. He hasn't gone and had it repainted has he?
Great colour, just what I had planned

More info would be great.

Only took the two pics I'm afraid. Can't recall the name on it

Fantastic door and bonnet gaps. Chromed grill surround as well?
Proper wires and chrome wipers.
Indents under the door handles.
Would love to see the fuel filler route, could save me a lot of time and hassle.
Great attention to detail. Looks like a brand new car.
Top marks to the builder.

I personally think it look better than the DNA that just sold for £48k.

The pictures flatter the paint and the badging wasn't to everyone's taste but it certainly generated a lot of interest in the car park.

it does look good
Its all in the details.
The scoops under the handles are easy, cut a hole and resin classic mini scratch plate in.

The detail around the bonnet scoop and the chrome grill are my favourites

Interesting choice of name both a Ferrari driver

The cooling vents on the sides look to have grills, neat. Too many badges for me, along with the jacking point covers, (one or the other) but still a nice looker.

I think this is something to do with Nubodi as there are lots of pics on their website, which I noticed a few days ago.

Well spotted
http://nubodi.moonfruit.com/customer-builds/4592909214

certainly looks to be a much better quality of build, can't knock them for this one.
I wonder if the bumpers are metal or chromed GRP?

The car looks really smart , its all in the detail ! The bonnet trim , the bumpers and the wire wheels set it all off. The bumpers look the same as the those fitted to smash's car. I would think Tribute or Nubodi would have let us know by now if the were offering GRP replica bumpers.
I agree with Jaguartvr , I prefer the style of this car over the California shape but we are not comparing like for like other than the Z3 base car. The Tribute Kalifornia isn't a replica of anything.

Re:BANDINI
Thanks for all your comments and critiscisms.
I built the car myself.
The body is vinyl wrapped not painted ! But will be painted in due course.
Front bumpers are genuine Ferrari.
Rear bumpers alluminium, chrome vinyl wrapped.
Seats MGF.
I extended the bonnet by 10" thus making it (in my opinion) in better proportion to the vehicle.

William - Welcome to the forum and your car looks great.
( I'll add some photos of it to the useful info sticky when I get the chance. )

I'm sure adding 10" inches to the bonnet was not as easy as you make it sound.

So it would be great if you started a build thread with a few more details and photos.
( We love photos. )

Cheers, Paul.

Well done mate, the comments above speak for themselves.
