Frank Bullitt Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Any shots of the rear straight on rather than from an angle? Would like to see how wide it is compared to stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieP Posted July 16, 2010 Author Share Posted July 16, 2010 now my screensaver lol fallen in love with that car. jamie did you find out if he still does fibreglass copies? or is it all carbon work now He makes them from fibreglass and all, i have gone with a fibreglass/carbon sandwich, a lot cheaper and very strong according to noel.

Guigsy Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 KeV. Read the page about the car. It's not about looks it's function. It's not a show car. Show cars are mostly ugly... Like yours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieP Posted July 16, 2010 Author Share Posted July 16, 2010 Another of the rear arch, it all works well i think, stock side pod fits in well, the stock plastic spat/liner fits well. good gaps everywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Not so sure on this one, some of the pics look fine, others the arches (and wheel placement) look really out of place - kind of like the stock ones have melted. Probably one of those ones to see in the flesh before casting a damning judgement Must admit last time I saw the car (pre-arches) it did look a bit like it'd been hit with the chav stick, but looks a bit more tidy now.

JamieP Posted July 16, 2010 Author Share Posted July 16, 2010 I thought you had seen it many times? he was always at the reading meets last year, wheel placement to arch is no different than stock, all the stock parts fit in place, it sticks out more but thats the idea:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 I thought you had seen it many times? he was always at the reading meets last year, wheel placement to arch is no different than stock, all the stock parts fit in place, it sticks out more but thats the idea:D What I meant was that the wheel placement to the rest of the lines looks a bit odd in a few of the pics and the arches don't seem to look right. As I said, probably one to have a good look at in the real world. Did it have the arches done some time ago then? I've seen it quite a few times last year and previous years but always thought the wheels were the bit odd looking compared to the rest of the car (had assumed it was due to the massive diameter and offset), but never spent much time looking at the bodywork (not my thing). The engine bay was more interesting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kill1308 Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Must admit, I'm not a huge fan of the look of that car, although I can appreciate the work that has gone into it, truly a great effort. I'm not sure on the whole arch thing either, it looks really well done and not far off the stock look (which is a good thing), but there's something about the car that doesn't look right to me for some reason. I'm sure if I saw it in the flesh it would probably be a different story, could just be the photo's making it look odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonkin Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 I think it looks frigin awesome! I can also understand what Homer is saying though, but aren't your wheels 12 inch and not 12.5 like Noel's?

JamieP Posted July 16, 2010 Author Share Posted July 16, 2010 Yeah, his wheels are 1/2" wider, with the job in hand i dont see any better way of doing it, obviously its never going to look 100% stock. To get the sort of power im running down to the road this is the best option i can see, its this or give up on the power mods, power without traction is a waste of time to me, i dont want stuck on veilside or the like overfenders.

Kirk Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 power without traction is a waste of time to me. Hence why traction control was invented As for the car I think its nice BUT the canards just don't suit it IMO and the spoiler isn't working for me. On the plus side the body looks aggressive, the wheels are a perfect match and the colour is gorgeous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted July 16, 2010 Author Share Posted July 16, 2010 Hence why traction control was invented Traction control is for people with no traction, id rather get the traction and use the power thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieP Posted July 16, 2010 Author Share Posted July 16, 2010 I will never have anything limit the power on my car and i will never have adjustable boost, both to me are pointless. Good for people that cant drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 I've tried to remove the things (canards, wing, vents) that are distracting from the bits we are interested in (the arches) I think it looks stunning, not many spoilerless cars I like, but those curves are lush, pretty jeleaous my wheels won't fill them as that is perfect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hmoreta Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 I like it...looks really good in pictures, critical points for me will be gaps between doors/panels but you mentioned that everything is ok. I would like to check your car once the job has been done mate (looking forward for any event) Jamie has you tried to find somebody to do the same work but using metal? - can't believe that no one in the UK can duplicate these panels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 it will increase the weight if its fabricated in metal, carbon is light and strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmoreta Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 it will increase the weight if its fabricated in metal, carbon is light and strong. yeap 100% agree with you mate (not a show car, maximun benefit power/traction & weight reduction)...maybe is just me being an arse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
