Been to have a look today, the calipers have been painted the same as the car, and are all fitted, they have also put some heat proof marcos logos on them and then laquerd over them, they look really good behind the black wheels!!. The exhaust system has also been re fitted and is on for life!!, they have painted satin black inside the rear wheel arches, painted the suspension and wish bones etc, again look very nice, they have rubbed down the paintwork again!!! ready to re laquer the car ( the last stage now of finishing the body work!) but it has not been finished yet, (thought it might be this week) but it will certainly be laquerd and finished by friday next week, they are going over every little blemish on the paintwork so it will end up factory finish. Once the car has been laquerd, then they will re fit all the rubber trims, carbon fibre wing, running boards, front canards, and various are scoops. The car will have a proper fitted tow eye to the front, which WILL be functional not stuck on haha, so 1st week of March gone already, so now its going to be end of March even poss early April!! depending on how busy the trimmers are. I am not starting to worry yet about time scale, but it will be almost 6 months since the car was 1st worked on!!! and the cost is going up with it!!! Its mainly down to body work preperation, it was all over the place. The car is definately going to be completed and on the road well before the 1st meeting, i intend to attend, the Ace Cafe meet London, which i think is June?, this year i will only bring the car to a few shows, ie Ace cafe, 50th Anniversary ( a must!) NEC classic car show Nov, but that will prob be it, i doubt i will go to the Curborough event, as i know the noise level will be too loud, it is loud!.he he. i will soon start sending an article and pics to some car magazines, ie classic car, road and track magazine, certainly not max power!!! LOL. I have taken a pic of the calipers painted and again i will send this to Gary H early next week. not really worth uploading any other pics at the moment as it looks pretty much the same. 4000 views by the time its finished????????. I will update this again either mid next week or next frin depending on progress!

Certainly not Marcos LOL more like ferrari quality finish!!!!!!!

At 6.00pm today, the LM exterior will be finished the car has had her final top coat, and the car and ALL the carbon fibre parts are all laquered, I will try and get to see the car tonight for the FINAL set of pics or it will be Monday next week, Then next week will see all the wing, and other carbon fibre ducts etc put back on the car, the trimmers will make a start in a about a weeks time and should only take about a week!!, then the car will get a final machine polish and then its complete, so 3 weeks time should see her ready to go to Top cats and then tax/mot her. I will send the pics to Gary early next week.

going to get some more pics this Fri, i am hoping that by then the doors will be re fitted, the boot lid, all the door/boot rubber seals, headlamps, rear lights/indicators will be fitted. I hope also that the rear wing will be fitted and all the other external carbon fibre sections fitted? the trimmers are coming to have a look early next, so still full steam ahead, watch this space!!

Yes these are in fact almost finished, so when i go and have a look tommorrow i should have a cool pic of them. The way these have beed designed is really goog they are mounted on 3 aliminuim prongs that are fixed to the A frame of each door ( as apposed to fixing them to the pillers) so when you open each door the mirrors open out with them, just looks a little more dramatic! the actual body of the mirrors are smaller than the standard wing mirrors on Lm's and Mantises and are more curvacious and will be painted orange with the 3 prongs painted in a graphite grey colour to match the same colour as the door window surrounds. Yes i think your right the close up pics i will do especially of the wing mirrors will attract a lot of attention, they really look good high up and sticking out. very Zonda looking!.
