Waiting to hear back from a dent guy just now and a mate can fit a screen for me.
Don't think the roof will be crease free without some filler, which might not be a good idea .
I have the spreader plates on the tailgate catches but catch on the bonnet has actually snapped in half, I think the...
I know but always liked the colour, nearly got my R8 wrapped in it a few years ago.
Well after a clean up this is the damage.
Luckily no damage here , and from the brief shot it did get it goes well with the new gearing.
Yip it is but s**t happens, just bad luck. Ordered new genuine aerocatches this morning and going to see if i can heat and shrink the dent on the roof.
I had always planned on getting the car wrapped in kawasaki green at some point so this may have just moved that forward if i need to fill dents.
Bonnet came up after one aero catch wasn't shut properly and the other one failed, damaged bonnet, smashed screen and dented roof. Need to check the roof tomorrow in the day light to see how bad it is.
Got a msg from Fraser.J. last night after he had gave it a quick test " your thing is rapid revs so quick" , so really looking forward to getting it back now. Will get one track day in to test out the difference the box has made, then pull it to bits to fit the AST rears and roll bar.

Need to get rid of all that messy power steering pipe work aswell, all the eps parts bought so...
Only one place i would use to raw alloy polishing a whel and thats Mike the polisher in Glasgow, but be warned they are a nightmare to keep clean if you use your car daily.
Mikes work
The other option is Fife powdercoating , and get then chrome powder coated , gives 90% of the look with easy...
I fitted the new wheel a couple of weeks ago and really happy with the look and feel , I might get a spare centre console painted to match the seat backs like in the pic below.
Yip the engine thats in just now might be down on that a little as its due a piston soon , but 40/44 bhp is the norm for this class of kart they rev to 12500 rpm.
