No probs mate

Need to check if it needs an oil change, might do the wheel bearing that was rumbling at Snetterton, and have a new radiator to fit. (bigger capacity for a few more laps)

moley, havent read everyones comments but IMO

would look okay if the FMIC was not silver, more like a dark grey/black to compliment the carbon fibre.


as for your attempt to fit that vinyl, going by your comment it was very cold, this doesnt lend itself to applying vinyl arounds curves, bends and folds like the area you have done.

a much warmer day would have allowed you a lot more give.

Its not bad.
But have always thought you have proberbly the nicest looking classic Molsky,that ive seen,and think it just takes away a little of that.
A diamonds a diamond mate...dont think you can polish it any more.
Spend your dosh on more internals as it looks a peach just how it was.....

I quite liked it

Especially if you'd done the centre of the bumper under the grille

Thought it looked alright, carbon is a funny thing not enough and it looks a little odd and too much is an over kill. It's all about balence, would have looked better with the RCM reverse scoop
It's way to cold to be outside messing with cars at the mo,get indoors and get some DIY done and get some points in the bag ready for the warmer weather.
