Looks good. Maybe a few exterior splashes of your signature purple would finish it off nicely? :)

No more tweaking on the wee black beastie, its time to play with my car!

 

It took a while but happy with the results on Laurens car. Fitting the rear wing was very easy. I cut an angle off so that it cleared the boot and it looks more vx like as well. I didnt need to move any mounting bolts as others have and reckon I could cut and finish and fit an exige wing in under two hours now, incluing the spreader plates. Laurens wing is filled with expanding foam to try and make it more rigid, so will be interesting to see if that stops the wobbling others have had. If it does its an easy job for any already fitted.

I have templates here now for the rear wing and louvres which themselves took a few hours, so if anyone needs copies let me know.

Learnt some stuff but was greatly helped by info posted on here. Thanks all.
