+3 dark color a nice black with a rich purple as a secondary.

My only concern would be the affect tyres that size had on the handling.
But holy hell is she gonna look evil

Been a whilst since I have updated my thread, I been spending many hours working on the car. Due to the custom nature of the entire thing, some of the updates might seem small however in working life they all been larger updates.

Last time I updated the thread I posted up some pictures of widerning the front bumper. Since then I have finished this and smothed all the fixing lines into the bumper so you cant tell any diffrence. I also decided that the archs didn\'t look right and also I wanted to modified them to stop any protentail rubbing with those epic wheels of mine. So I had to build the archs out and then refibre glass everything to make sure its all water tight and strong. Couple of pictures of that:













I have also spent a lot of time smoothing all the front and rear archs into the exsiting bodypanels, these small details will help the kit look as if part of the panel. All the swag lines will mimick the fixing points on the standard RX7 again giving it a slight OEM look.













As you can see the archs are looking more as they should now! This gives me plenty of space to still heavily accelerate my car without scrubbing.

The next thing I did was to re locate my filler fuel cap as well as start to build my new roll cage. At Shell Shocked we now have the abailty to have part/full cages as well as other more extream metal work conducted in house. This roll cage is for show purposes only, however does have enough strength to take the weight of the car, however without me wanted to test this I cant guarantee. All the fuel cap was made up from scratch as well:











I also decided that due to the trouble I was having fixing the bumper I was going to smooth the front bumper into the wings, and I\'m so glad I did as not only is it 100 times stronger but I thinks looks miles better on the car too.




Brackets for roll cage:



The main reason for the delay in the update is our time has been taken up by the other large project we have in at the moment, which is a wide arch amuse S2000! When you have this baby to work on as well as 10+ other private, insurance and trader customers cars in during the week it can be tricky!











More updates to come soon!

progress has been slow again due to a wide arch s2k taking precidence. Anyway, after priming it i decided to do a few other little bits. I have now smoothed the lock ouf of the back along with the two smaller vents in the front bumper (leaving just the main 3). Ive opefully it should have some colour on it next week
