Very nice!  :notworthy:
Could you please post some pictures with the back and rear spoiler?
Do you have a rear diffusor?
Where did you get the rear wing from?

Nice build, good luck with the VLN. In addition to the above, what gearbox and suspension ?

Pictures of the rear to follow.
Yes to diffuser, this and the Rear wing were already on the car, but maybe I can find out the supplier.

Standard gearbox with a Quaife LSD- will review whether to switch to drexler once I've done some testing.

Suspension is all H and R, coil overs and roll bars.

Brake wise, Brembo four pots on the front and standard rears.

Pictures (albeit bad ones) of the rear end as requested, again, I'll get some more once I've finished tidying and get it out the workshop.











Started looking at the front end, I've got a SEAT Cupra cup car front splitter, with an extra extension (made by Xsport Racing) so pulled the front end off, the wings are bolted through the bumper.

my idea, mainly for transport reasons, is to have the front end reasonably quick removal, clamshell style.

OMG, that wing is HUGE!
The car looks very, very aggressive so VLN will suit it just fine  :grin:.
When you have some time could you please post some pictures with the rear diffuser (maybe underneath the car?).

Still need to get rid of this aluminium pipe and put a standard airbox and pipe back on, anyone?

You'll be needing an engine cover to use the standard air box

Awesome  :happy2: :happy2:

One of the car parks there reminds me of a camp I was at in Germany. In the Forces?

Nope, Motorsport, but in Cologne. In a ex army area (Belgium army I think)

ill add engine cover to my list, it's actually really hard to get parts over here!
