Yeah the kits would be the same apart from wheels n decals Al.

More mock ups and test fits.

Hopefully radiusing these guards by 3-4mm will change the look enough to be worth the effort.

No flairs. Guards will be radius'd meaning I'll make you guard opening larger. I've noticed this a lot on the Japanese VIP builds but it's the same as what guys done to their gasser's to get the big slicks to fit.

I've started glueing the guards back together. Gained 3-4mm in height and the rear is maybe a millimetre wider. Now the fun begins trying to clean the body up.

I got 3 wheel arches done. One is completely filled ready for sanding but again its too cold and my super glue went off so it's in the box too.
