Absolute HERO !!!!

wait till gav :gav: and Rvm :rvm: See this :)

**** hot mate, I think that headlight looks good. seen it time and time again where people just take the headlight out, this makes it a cleaner look. further more you can fit a headlight, drive to the track, then swap it out :win: which means you can get to the track with no bother from Po Po ;)

Bravo i say :clap: looks Bloody Brilliant

Cheers mate. That was the idea behind the headlight. Just use it for track obviously. I don't mind abit of heatsoak on the road as I barely drive it anyway.
I did a big hole in the headlight before I choose to do the smaller ones and it just looked abit **** tbh, this way looks much better.

Splitter still needs work to look half decent but its the theory I want to test before getting too into how it looks.

Should I have done the light Matt-black? Was going to but ran out after doing the inside.
 
Nice work with the headlight, having both front lights painted white would look even better IMO

Your right it defo would look better, but I have no use for the other headlight to have holes or anything, makes it more work to swap two headlights everytime I go on track.
Maybe stick oil cooler behind the passenger light? Would have thought the front would be better for cooling than behind the light though

Hook it up to some brake ducts perhaps?
 
Possibly.
This cars getting more and more road-awkward lol
 
You seen the how to?
Not that difficult. The hard part is making it look neat lol
 
I'm torn on the light being black or White tbh... Might look cool chequer board :p haha.

Any shot from inside the bay with the ducting coming from the light ?

Splitter looks fine dude, Could just touch it up with some house hold paint ?

I recently repainted my drum's using Crown black paint lol worked a treat. Easier to get a neat finish also ;)

Haven't had the chance to get any ducting yet, but have a 3.5inch hole in the back of the light. With the filter as close as I could get it to the hole.

Splitter looks a lot better in the photo than in real life lol come have a look on Saturday.

Yeah only track item. I've fitted it for the journey up to Combe to save some time but that's it.
This is only the 2nd time I've put it on. Once to test it at motorway (and above) speeds and now for Combe.

or you talking about the headlight?
That Will be fitted at japfest once I'm on the stand. Shouldn't take long.
 
Personally i'd paint it anthracite/black. That way the lights sort of match.

Good work.
 
Does make sense trying to match them like that.
I'm more into how it performs over how it looks ATM.

Yea the light, thought were going to drive on the road with it like that for a sec!
 
Haha nah. I'll get pulled over straight away.
Just a track thing, should look pretty cool on track. Plus pictures are taken from a distance so makes my car look cleaner than it is lol
