Whens OP?

No Oulton round, this year.

[chris_uk]

nope, Oulton got taken off the schedule

[chris_uk]

oh those photos of the wrapping bring back time consuming patience sapping memories!
looks like a great job (cheat for not tackling the vents though )

i actually did a vent to see if i could do it.. and i could but we wanted the carbon vents anyway.

[Mike (Cliffie)]

Transforms the look of the car, even the bare carbon louvres look right.
Excellent job.

Scrummy isn't it. I am in love with it again.

Couple of different pics

Inside the car


The rear view

[barrybethel]

Looks beautiful. Could I suggest one teeny wee improvement? Louvres in the top of the front wings to reduce pressure in the wheelarch? They look nice too. I imagine they will be on your list anyway. Good luck with TA.

[chris_uk]

As far as im aware there will be no vents in the wings.

[bunsenburner]

I guess you don't need that rear view mirror

Not planned those vents TBH, we will see how the car goes first and add if needed. I don't really like the look of them.

Yup I do. That is staying with me as I may put a window in the coupe lid.

Must say Mike you have done a fantastic job, I love your car now , with you pedaling it was hardly slow before, can't imagine what it's going to be like now. Well done and what a top man Chris is ::

Yup, Chris is my hero. He worked his nuts off for two days solid not finishing until 1am on Monday morning and then being up and at it again later that morning for another full day on the car. On top of that he came down from Leeds Saturday afternoon so I pinched most of his Easter and all he got was a pizza.

Nicely done guys! the wrapping looks really good!

[Andrew aka Stuwy]

I figured I'd be no help and just get in the way great work chaps!

[jakbvx]

WOW! Only started reading this project last night and i was hooked, just finished last few pages tonight and I cant believe how much you (and team VX) have accomplished! Looks like you have created something special there, so good luck and enjoy it!

Drove him into work today to get some miles on the new engine and boy it is chilly in there at 6:30am. Gutted however as I kerbed one of the new wheels getting past a wobbly cyclist who veered into my path.

[FLD]

You should've got out and chibbed him!

[Graeme Lambert]

Looking really good Mike - congrats to you and of course Chris (esp considering the rubbish weather we have had this weekend)

Will try and get over to yours with the AG stuff sometime soon, then you can keep it looking as good as it does now!

Did that to an Aston Martin once, with optional (read £6k) wheels. Not my best day at the office...

tbh i wouldnt put the spitfire ones on my car due to the cheap parts they use

They don't use cheap parts. They might have done, once upon a time but not any more.
