Took some more piccies today of the Beat. The rear wings and front bit have been welded on. He reckons he will be ready to paint it next week. Still looking a bit sorry for itself though.

Looking very good :)
Excellent choice of color. The brightness brings-out the bodylines. It it a custom mix or a std color? You'll love it the first time you see at at night - just beaming the color, all others will look pale by comparision.
Consider applying a "rock guard" to the front dam and wheelwells after the new paint cures. Installs similar to window tinting material. http://www.invisiblemask.com/site.html
I recently did this and to the headlight assys. One must look very close to see the 8mm thk material ply.
The colour is a Maserati colour. Giallo Ginestra. Not sure about the rock guard.
I havent been here for a while, there seems to be a lot of new names about.
Just had a look at those pics and the car looks great, colour is great you seem to be going all out.
Good work.
The last pictures from the body shop as it is coming home later today.

Wow! Makes me wish I'd sprayed mine yellow when I had that bumper lol Very impressed
We like your bumper very much. The side skirts are nice too and the wheels are now black. You can't have any of them back I'm afraid. :)Quote:

We are happy with the work that has been done. There are a couple of slight niggles which I'm sure will be sorted fairly easily.
Had a stainless steel exhaust made. It looks and sounds pretty good.
