Rook is the name of my own company, design, development and fabrication, the kit that i am working on started life as the tribute Kobra, i have incorporated a few developments on this build, this is my own personal development vehicle. chris is fully aware of what I'm doing and encouraging me with certain ideas, and design direction on a few products. anything that i produce for the tribute z3 based cars that is popular, chris will take a mould of and put into full production.

my first original design, the speedster panel that is currently about half way through development.

hope all of this helps and anything that i can help with please get in touch.

Rook - Welcome to the forum. :cool:

I’d like to see what a difference your speedster panel makes to the look of the car.

Good luck, Paul. :)
