Cool The Scoop Is Gone!
Well, got round to it at last. The scoop is gone to be replaced with the Vented Grill From RCM.

I quite like it

Lee, I have thought about blacking the FMIC I am getting new upper and lower grills and will see what it looks like with them on first though.

Ian, Oil cooler is next on the list, will probably be early next year now though. I need to reign it in a bit

Ah mate, that looks the absolute nuts. That car is a credit to you, and that just finishes it nicely. I didnt realise that it would look that good, I think you may need a copyright on it!!!

WR1 grills would look good.


Sprayed black I think would be good, I feel a photoshop picture coming on.

Mikey, no bother mate, it's a real marmite part, I have had it for weeks and kept looking and thinking... Should I??????

Thats what makes modding cars so personal, whats right for one, doesn't have to right for all. And you should never have to say you like something, just because others do

Looks excellent in the flesh.
The "426" looks special all round.
Shame about that flat bit on the front bumper!!

Cheers guys

I am going to keep the FMIC Silver I think. I have grills to go over yet.

I agree about the Pink Badge, but with the new grills going on, I may just leave it all black.
