Looks like a really great assembly.

On the other hand, I'd have done without the bonnet mods!

Torero · Post by **Torero** » Thu Jan 30, 2014 1:19 pm

I did think this over but the bonnet is functional as well as aesthetic, Calum. It directs the airflow from the back of the rad over the bonnet which cools more efficiently (rather than it being trapped in the frunk area) and also adds moderate downforce to the front of the car directly over the wheels.

Even if this doesn't prove to be as efficient as claimed I can always get a plain bonnet fitted. Shouldn't be too much trouble.

Is your bonnet mod welded into position or fibreglassed? I want to mod my mk1 bonnet but don't want the weld beads on show...

It's going to be 8M6 Toyota Rav4 and Roadster MK3 blue. A really rich mid to dark blue which I think will show the kit off well Rich and the mirrors and spoiler blade in black. Also, I don't know of anyone on the forums that has a blue one.

Thanks Buddy, that's really appreciated as you for one know what goes into building these.

It's just occurred to me you should consider the E92 M3 dark blue shade. When contrasted with black it looks stunning.

I just spent £350 on the paint Calum so there's no going back

Good paint choice - my dad had a rav4 in that colour and was lovely

I'm sure you'll be over the moon with it.

Just caught up with this now, looks outstanding.
Can't wait to see it in paint.

Some pics on their way.

Today Patrick started spraying some of the smaller components, door and boot shuts. This is the first time I've seen the new paint on the panels and there is no doubt that this is going to look jaw-droppingly good.

First the boot shut and underside of the lid, it looks stock from this angle.

The engine cover.

Rear window garnish.

....and finally, the headlight covers, door handles and inspection panels looking very impressive.

Lovely colour John.

Quite looking forward to seeing the finished product.

John, with these photo's you are teasing us all... I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say, we need photo's of the whole car in this colour

Torero · Post by **Torero** » Mon Feb 03, 2014 12:47 pm

Lol, all in good time Chris. I'm back down there on Saturday so hopefully have more pics then.

Fingers crossed it'll also be in top coat as well but I know Patrick's flat out at the moment.
