TheTurtleshead Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 So they're stock wings skinned in carbon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skippyboyo1 Posted October 10, 2013 Author Share Posted October 10, 2013 cheers guys, lots more updates to come. the wings are not skinned, we removed the standard outer skin and made the moulds from them, then replaced with carbon. Reason for this i did not want to loose the quality of fitment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
safcdixon Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Some nice ideas in there dude, its good to see something different going on, What else you got in the pipeline for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skippyboyo1 Posted November 24, 2013 Author Share Posted November 24, 2013 The car has been in the bodyshop for 5months now, the indicators are gone and never to return, the front plate holder is also gone along with the front washer jets, the front bumper has been Soda blasted back and then re painted along with the bonnet and as some of you will no I've had custom carbon canards made in an effort to be different (if you like these there available on a group buy in the for sale section) I have gone carbon crazy in all honesty as I hate all things "fake carbon" carbon dipping and wrapping just makes me angry, sounds silly but true. It's not carbon. Plus on a personal note I've done all that. I've got sponsorship for next year off 2 companies I'm not sure if I've mentioned this in the thread but will go in to more detail as and when. Lots of interior changes are going on and I can assure you if you need me over winter I'll be in the garage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skippyboyo1 Posted December 5, 2013 Author Share Posted December 5, 2013 Just looking through some old pics of the car when it was standard and came across 2 of many trackdays I've done in the past at Cadwell. Just incase anyone has not seen my thread before this is how the car looked years and years ago and not now.... Infact far from what it lookes like now! http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/12/05/aqutuqap.jpg http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/12/05/a9asusyv.jpg http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/12/05/zuqaneha.jpg http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/12/05/y7ara5az.jpg http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/12/05/ajumehuj.jpg http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/12/05/ubuvusu8.jpg http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/12/05/a7y9ygu5.jpg http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/12/05/e3e7eraq.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skippyboyo1 Posted December 5, 2013 Author Share Posted December 5, 2013 Looked better before S Haha Anymore updates? Haha The car is back on sat to its new garage I have then it's time to get busy, I'm wanting different. When I flocked the interiour I was one of only a few now it's been copied I'll be getting rid and doing something different. Again as some people no I'll be mixing some carbon in there but real stuff no copies or cheap fakes and it will be custom. I'll be getting carbon seats and I'm going to look at modifying the soundsystem from wood to carbon. I'm going to do something different with my footwells and I'll be sound proofing the whole lot. As long as it different I'll be happy, this is the last time I'll be re building it and then I'll be getting another and that will be just for the track.

skippyboyo1 Posted December 28, 2013 Author Share Posted December 28, 2013 Nice built sir !! How difficult was removing the rear window and installing a new seal ? Mine needs doing tbh Cheers buddy, it's easy. Just get a screen company to come out and remove it, they will then come back to re install it for you.... Around £50 total. You do risk breaking the glass but if it brakes it brakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've done the flocking thing now so I have ideas in the pipeline but won't be oem. I've spent more hours just sat looking and working things out but think I no what I'm doing now will reveal all once I've spent most of January in the garage.
