250 SWB, Kobra & Z300S

21 Jan 2016, 10:57pm
I've been browsing the pages on each of these models for some time, rather undecided on which route to take to be honest. They're all brilliant in their own right.

The question that popped up in my head, though, how interchangeable are parts of kits with others?

Say I wanted the Z300S front with a 250 SWB or Kobra rear. Would anybody know which combinations are possible?

I thought I'd ask here first as you seem a knowledgeable lot :D

Thanks for the input!

Apparently, both the Kobra and the 250 SWB need the front impact bar to be removed. I very much doubt I can legally do that here so the Z300S would be the default.

Now, Z300S front with a Kobra rear would be possible, no?

Yes that's easy, Use Z300s side sills to match the front end as the Kobras side panels blend in with the wheel arch.

I will be interested to see - the Z300s has quite a long nose and the Kobra rear is longer than Z300s so the proportions will be very similar to the 275 Chris is currently sculpting.

Looks like this Kobra is trying to transform into something out of a soft mints ad -

Use of crappy and unnecessary fx made me feel a bit queasy and I thought my laptop had broken first time I watched them.

Interesting colour scheme though.

It is a shame it is a 1.9 £9k is a good price ? Wonder what margin is in that ?
