[quote="dawolf"]Ouch. This is why I have refused to drive my car in this weather. MR2's are just too risky in the snow and ice. I'm sure you weren't at fault mate.[/quote

I was quite happy for people to take the micky out of me at work, Nearly everyone turns up.well they have boring front wheel drive saloons. As long as ive got a car at the end of the day :)

Your repairs remind me of the cars i saw at Keighley Trade Centre!!
On a more serious note, glad youre in one piece mate and that the damage is only superficial! Im sure in no time at all it will be back in A1 condition! Those vented wings will look awesome...i saw his trial ones in the flesh, and they looked sweet! Well worth the wait!

im already planning the entire new revamp. basically ive got border front, toms sides and vented front wings all on order and paid for. want a toms rear and have been considering some canards for the border front.

didnt realise this but that the same combination as harrys 2 minus the silly rear wing, carbon bonnet and arc front splitter.

update

temp front wing and border front fitted. the border front is a poor fit and needs more work to get it fitting right. as you can see its unpainted and i ran out of light to get it all fixed up properly.

some pics here.

hmmm that bumper fit looks familiar! Seems like wherever you get fibreglass bits from they need work to make em fit right :evil:

Glad you've lost the gaffer tape tho mate, looks a damn sight better than when i last saw it! Should be sweet when it's all done, looks so much better than the Bomex!
