Speed Freak Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Can anyone here that may know this car tell me how the black was added to it?vinyl wrap, spray??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Loudon - Sponsorship Liaison Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 The black is simply a black GRP nose, bionnet, scuttle and cycle wings. The nose and cycle wings have painted orange front bits I believe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveC Posted November 16, 2011 Author Share Posted November 16, 2011 Blimey, perhaps i should revise the price Saying that i have taken a few parts out of the sale, Team dynamic wheels, weather kit etc, to bring the spec to a more simple track/ fast road based car. The main thing is all the hours of engineering time going into the car, to keep it well sorted and set up correctly as those with similar cars will appreciate. ready to go for next years speed series. Need to get my next project under way, so anyone interested PM or email me. As John says its dark green nose cone and bonnet with orange band blended in. cheers, Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speed Freak Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 "first registered 1998. Rebodied and chassis rebuild in 2006. Was classified as uneconomic to repair by insurance, but provided a great opportunity to rebuild with lightweight and updated spec components,1558 miles since." Just copied this from pistonheads website... Does anyone here understand the system with regards to damaged cars? The insurers obviously rate or grade the car differently Im guessing? Does the dvla have records of it then too? Should I want to export car, would they also get hold of this info then?OR does this info get updated when the corrective work has been carried out?
