Does it require alot of skimming and filling before spraying?

I take it none of the original Front wing is retained?

Can you make Fj20 bonnet vents or complete bonnets to match the rest of the kit.

Thanks


Im thinking about going for a set just though i dont have to worry about panels rusting.. So im thinking i will cut my complete rear quarters right off and replace rather than stick over.

The finish on my kit (one of the first out of the moulds) was excellent, no real filling or skimming, just blended the edges at the rear quarters with mastic and a petrol coated finger... Simply the best quality glassfiber panels I have ever dealt with.... and there were quite a few on the 6R4's.
I had the whole kit fitted and side skirts trimmed in one day on my own in the workshop....
You should get yourself over to sweden (ryan air 50 qu return) July 14-15 for the gatebil event, then you canhave a good look at my car.... and run a few laps too...

Go for it... you know you want to.

What an offer!!!!!, I would love to but il most probably be working elsewhere. the next few months are pretty hectic at the workshop. We have events at Porto,nurburg, silverstone gp support race this wend etc then the only weekend off i have Jae with s12oc.

i will have a double check on the calender anyway.


Im glad to hear that prep work isnt too much on the panels. I really get stuck for time. what did you do with the original rear arches. Did you cut them right out?. Id rather not have a fibreglass panel over the top of the original.

[Conkers]

I left the original panel under, but cut away around the wheel arch for tyre clearance, I took the easy option, because had I removed the original panel, or sections of it, then I would have still needed something to seal the inside of the car from the dust, dirt and tyre smoke. I might not seem much of an issue when you have panel trims inside the rear of the car and in the boot, but our is gutted and you can see the original panels from inside the car, although I suppose you could remove the panel and then fabricate a new inner arch...
Looks wise it doesnt matter either way.... time wise it is quicker to leave it in place.... weight wise... the back is already too light...

Depends how much time you have I suppose...
