Hey Sean!
I love that colour of your motor mate... sweet. I know what you mean with the price of these GT wings. I got mine from Halfords for 180 quid i think..:rolleyes: Its not very OTT and is in carbon fibre, will look great with the same bonnet. Have a look at a picture of mine below, that may give you rough idea. Although, you have already coppied my side skirts and rear spats :D you may as well copy my spoiler too....:D :D
Cheers

Nah, mate - I think I\'ve chucked enough $\'s at cars over the last 15 years to be excused from grinder-ship :D
Was talking to Max about it the other week, he budgets some thing like £750-1000 all in for each trip....

£100 - 12 laps(might do 24;))
£100 - Food and beer

That car looks sweet mate, looks like it will do some damage at the ring, I was there last year on a Kaw ZX7r really really cool, are they not closing the ring soon???? Would be a real disaster if that happened.

Should be good, I\'ve got a de-cat, powerFC, and looking for a boost controller. Pip says it\'ll be about 325 with the powerFC fitted, but I don\'t know how much more I could get safely by adding a Boost controller, anyone??

Do you need a boost controller if you have a power FC, was talking to Ross at Dragons about this last week and he was recommending only having the power FC as it did everything anyway.
