Hi all, Newbie here.

First of all love the kit Tribute.

Secondly how much is the kit for everything needed ?

Am i right in thinking the below ?

1.Base car purchase - buyer sources

2.panel kit = £1695

3.Roll cage/Shell Brace= £275

4.Lights and headlight covers = £130

5.Alloy wheels and tyres = buyer sources

6. Prep and paint from = buyer sources

Is there anything else needed for the exterior ??

Hi, Welcome to the forum.

Your question is one that we are asked by most customers, and this is a good excuse to put down in black and white the costs we have found from building our "demo" cars. Our cars have been put together on a low budget, as that's what we have had available, but this is a good thing when customers are generally in the same boat.

Using our red demo car as an example, these are the costs for a customer to produce the same car to the same standard (totally stock interior):

1.Base car purchase = £550

2.Panel kit = £1695

3.Roll cage/Shell Brace= £275

4. Headlight covers = £60 (TBC - still in production/development)

5. Alloy wheels and tyres = £375 (used)

6. Prep and paint = £800

7. Fixings, bonding agent, filler abrasives etc = £80

8. Rear window (used) = £50

8. Lights, wipers, numberplates, grille/mesh, wheel spacers, fuel cap, mirrors, side window seals (used), exhaust trim, bonnet pins = £270

TOTAL £4155

Suspension, engine and interior upgrages can be added latter if budget is tight, better to get the car on the road and enjoy it.

I hope this helps, please feel free to ask for more information as you need it.

Regards
Chris Welch

Excellent, thank you for the reply.

Out of that list what do you provide and what does the customer need to source?

Also where are you based ?

Regards
