Hello and welcome your highness.

EVO kits demand lots of chopping to arches etc. The after-market kits can be very dodgy/poor quality and often look horrendous if not fitted well. Not that I'm saying you're crap at bodywork or anything B)

Personally, I'm a standard man myself but I applaud and respect anyone who has the dedication to build a car from their imagination B)

interested in seeing what comes of this :)

if you plan on painting it matt black it would be cheaper to rattle can it. Although if you want a decent finish your best bet is probably to use a satin black wrap. i would probably make my decision based on the sate of the body work, if its nice and you want to protect it for potential new buyers, a wrap would be ideal, if its covered in rust id treat that then break out the primer :P

Hi, guys thanks for your replies i hear what your saying about aftermarket kits stwat there is an evo spoiler kit for sale in these forums i,m trying to buy that the guy said it was original so hope i can get that, its missing a side skirt though but i reackon i can make a mould out of wood being a chippie and then fibreglass it

ive uploaded a picture of the car that gave me the insperation it,s the night edition sl500 just in case i stuffed up the uploading the only reason i thought of wraping it was because i thought it would be cheaper if it,s not ill just spray it myself

also does any one know what the maximum width of tyre is plan to lower 2" and have 245 40 17 tyres with the evo 2 arches

i.ll start a new thread as soon as i get the car i,m planing to finsh the car pretty soon as ive got some time off work so you should see it come togeather pretty rapid
mind you i thought that about my last car and that took me 2 years and 25,000

thanks again guys your advice is greatley appericated oh yea i won,t need the cosworth spoilers etc so when i get the car i,ll post photo,s if you wan,t anything let me know, free if you can pick up from romford essex area or small fee to post
