While talking to Alastair he suggest about painting the rear black which I thought was a good idea but not 100 percent on it. Then he said wouldn't it look good in carbon fibre. I agreed it would and then this happens lol. So a piece of carbon fibre was was blended into the body work.

Now this is my favourite part of the build getting to this stage and want to say a big thanks to them both as they have done amazing job. I know there still stuff to do but this is where it's up to atm and they have worked miracles on it.

So paint first on the parts.

Thanks guys and it's a credit to Alastair 👍😀 Not doing the National but the next one for me is Zandvoort which ive booked so can't miss that. Next year will be the year of driving and no big projects like this 🙈😂

Absolutely. F-ing. Amazing.  :wub:  :wub:  :wub:

 

Just how much work is involved in getting the Exige clams etc to fit the VX. It can't be a simple switch I guess???

Have been toying with the idea to wrap mine in a colour similar to this blue, can't wait to see it when finsihed.

 

Big kudos to Alastair (+wife) and Haggi for this   Imnotworthy

Loads. Luke has fairly deep pockets though and has been doing this project for quite a while.
