Some time ago I told on this forum Kerscher fenders are top notch (and better than SRS).  :wink:

And a small update:



I am not pleased with the sound of the current camera so I will take the sound from the GoPro Hero2. And I will also experiment with more angles because the current camera stays on the car in the current position (even if the quality is not very good, the angles are excellent. I can easily see the lines and what is happening in the car and behind the car).

Congrats rex but the sound on these small wide angle cameras is not great either. Please compare the movies I made with my SONY HD camera vs my Drift HD170

You are right there is a big difference between the two. But the sound from GoPro Hero 2 should be better than my old camera.
I also saw Adrian's videos and the sound was ok.

I haven't written here for a while so it's time for an update...
Pieces are coming in and I will struggle to have everything fitted (except the roll cage which has a 8-10 weeks estimated delivery time  :sad1: and it has only been 4 weeks).
I will try to have an update here as soon as the pieces arrive and are fitted.

At the moment the car is in service for 2 reasons:

1. A woman failed to give way then changing the lanes (the bumper is scratched, and the front left wheel is a mess as you will see in the photos below)

2. Fitting the Kerscher wings.
The guys made a test and they fit very well. I want to see the finished product before saying anything else, but the future looks promising.









Jake, (danishmkvgti) I remember posting a similar image and there was a large gap between the carbon fender and the bumper. Here the lines are better and in my opinion close to perfect.


The inner wheel arch has to be modified. I marked with a red line the area that has to be removed. The Kerscher inner fenders will be bolted to the remaining OEM inner Wheel arch.



Cheers!

Soooo looking forward to get my TT hub project over and get on with the project of painting the car and fitting these fenders. I love that they have taken into account that the bumper and fender needs to line up. Very very good news REX, same excellent fitment i saw on TEFF's last year at REVO HQ.

I saw TEFF's car ant they were brilliant. I hope the end result will be that good on my car also. Since this is a mod you're interested in I will try to keep you posted and give you as much information I have.
