Cheers for the Birthday wishes.

The fan thing is exactly that, the fan. It looks like that with the plenum removed, pretty ugly at the moment.
I've got a fibreglass plenum but it still needs painting but pic attatched is pretty much how I figured I'd set it up. clamp at bottom with a screw at top on either end with some rubber stuff bit like wetsuit material but waterproof inbetween the mating surfaces.

Cable ties are only temporary. Just making sure all my wiring is correct before taping it up. They're a top invention the old cable ties!

Colour is Velocity Blue, on XR6's and 8's.

Haven't raced Russ yet, running it in still so he'd have an unfair advantage. Will wait till its injected and been dyno'd so then I can't have any excuses.

The tail lights always seem darker in photos, they are tinted but no where near as dark as they seem.

Think I covered it all.
Got ya email Alastair cheers.

Tail lights came with the car many many moons ago. But I remember a guy a work bought a spray can of lens tinter to do his vl commy a few years back.
Pretty sure thats whats been done to mine, just sprayed on the inside.

Yeh they are still quite visible, obviously not as good as a brand spanking set of new lenses but would say theyre pretty easy to see.
Might see if I can get a pic when the weather fines up.

oh and its a defect so dont go too thick you will be surprised how dark it gets

its called night shade and available from sprint / repco places like that.

rhys the whole car looks great! did you do the lower front lip spoiler thing yourself? the fibreglass heater dome is a great idea and i look forward to seeing it in real life sumtime.



Shea,
The car had a fibreglass front spoiler, that I reshaped the sides and made sit lower to the way I liked it.

Rhys

So when are you going to be putting a cossie in then eh?
