Looks wikked Thomas... bring on that ST look badboy... when I saw those cars at CLM I wanted to have the stickers applied to my car too.

That paint looks really nice buddy.

Keep us updated.

I'm not going full Kremer decals (not just yet

) it will be a slightly more subtle look to start.

Just dropped a few more bits down to the garage and took a few more spy shots!

Not long now.

Here lies my inspiration for front indicator treatment. I was going for the R style side lamps but in the end modified the bowls so that the side light now resides in there.

That really is looking pretty sharp! Are those light housings from GTR or have you found a UK source?

Nothing to do with me, but look at that Dennis Healy Eyebrow inspired roof spoiler being modelled for the new 997 Turbo tea tray spoiler replacement !

I like the look of the wheels what's the finish, are they painted ?

yes, I based the look on the Kremer Recreation at Le Mans by Sprintline (the car that started it all)

They use the finish a lot on their cars

and yes, painted and baked during stages. I'll probably also run without centre caps.
