Thanks mate, made a conscious descision not long ago to get her as original and clean as possible with modern tweaks. Fair way to go yet but if i was finished next week there would be no fun in it

lol, yeah were have i heard that before

I was actually watching that episode of Wheeler Dealers one night where they did the Sierra Cosworth and brought it back to its original state, original alloys etc. I thought "i want some of that action"

The rarer they get the more a completely standard one will start to become desirable or at least standard on the outside with well done performance mods.

I agree with you 100% mate don't get me wrong but it's just the way it go's with cars that become classics, if I was modifying the exterior of mine I'd keep the standard parts so it could always go back when or if I ever sold it, best of both world then.

Picked up my Zender front apron from ECO16V tonight, well pleased with it. I know it might not be very easy to find the rest of the kit but its a start. I didn't plan it this way at all but found this photo and its the look i'm going to end up with all being well

conalnugent · « **Reply #249 on:** April 01, 2011, 21:03:06 PM »

yeah dude, that's nice. I retract wot I said bout only liking the standard look now, the zender kit being the only exception. So there's front apron and skirts, is there a rear one? Any pics of that?

angus346 · « **Reply #250 on:** April 01, 2011, 21:08:26 PM »

Check this out Conal, a member on here. Page 6, from about half way down until the end you'll see various photos of the kit, on a cally the same colour as mine i believe, and some of the rear bumper. Will definitely fit a spoiler but might go with the smaller Irmscher one, not sure

Why does the site do that with links sometimes, only link half of it? Just copy and paste it lol

Also got a glimpse of the rear end of Johns Nova tonight, awesome from what i saw

very nice. I like the pic of the deep dish back wheel, the pic in the garage

I quite like the zender kit, but I think if your gonna do it, you need the surf board spoiler to match mate, the skinny irmy one like on the DTM will look out of place I think.....

Also, the kit works best on black Calibra's

angus346 · « **Reply #257 on:** April 02, 2011, 12:28:25 PM »

i know someone on here, it might be LammysAllyHeaderTankScam, has the smaller spoiler fitted and it looks pretty good. Know what you mean though and i'm still not really decided on the spoiler. Won't get carried away yet though, nothing is going on until i have the whole kit and that might never actually happen lol

Dave · « **Reply #258 on:** April 02, 2011, 19:02:43 PM »

it will never get painted, and you being you will never fit it either

look what happened to the spoiler you kept saying you were going to fit lol!

I'm inspired by this bumper now though

If i get the whole kit together it will go on. How can i fit that spoiler anyway, i sold it

Here is the front part anyway

Cool me thinks but i'm wondering if there are any other side skirts etc that i could get away with using with it, should the right parts not come along
