It's not as load as you would think. I narrowed the pipes to keep up the pressure and help create a nice rasp rather than the booooorrrrrrr sound. The catis coming out but i am making a fitted section so the can can be put back with the original bolts if needed for mot's etc.

Mind those sleeping policemen! That's sitting really well now. I must change the springs on mine, or weigh it down with a V8.....

Default Headlight covers

Hi Jamie

I was let down by a supplier for the headlight covers. Then had a go at doing them myself (I have produced similar items before) but the large double curves have beaten me so far.

I am looking for a reliable company to produce them, Nick has given me a name and I will be calling them on Monday. I will keep you informed.

Thumbs up

Hi,

new to the forum and really interested in this kit. From the google image searches I've done I think the car in this thread is the white one with italy flag stripes? if so I think it looks awesome so any pics would be great. I think it looks much better than the red demo one, partly due to the colour but also because it sits much lower.

Cheers,
Scott
