lol @ russian - I have a feeling its swedish (though apologise to any nordic countries I offend if I'm wrong :lol: )

I have however been thinking about buy some of those arches, trouble is I can't run them for rallying as it has to be stock silhouette, but I'd still like some. How much do "kits" of varying bits and pieces come to at the current exchange rate? (I have too much revision at this precise second to work it out! - and I'm lazy)

when they were last talked about using the exchange rate.

it worked out to £138 for the rear arches. Would expect the same for the fronts. its all within the £100 region.

im idealy only after the arches aswell although the door skins are tempting..

yup, basically arches and possibly bonnet would interest me but I am not sure if I have the money to spend on bodywork at the moment (bigger and more important plans requiring pennies are already in motion).

Yeah, I think if a group buy were to take place then I'd probably only want a bonnet. In which case, anybody know how much nev charges for a fibreglass bonnet as I haven't got round to txting him to ask.

Now is not a good time to go for this due to the poor exchange rate but if things stable up back to the way it was 6 months ago then I would be willing to consider some bits.

Slightly off topic here, but, After changing my wings for metal ones....they hardly weight a thing 1/2kg maybe, bonnet is well heavy though.

yeah, only the bonnet would be for "weight" purposes and not really to make the car lighter, just balance it a little as the redblock is pretty heavy and makes the 360 a little understeery. I just thought the arches looked cool :)

Might have a bonnet if we can get a shipping price.


*edit* 1000SEK is only £80 atm, so everything's pretty cheap. Did RP send you any better pictures of spoilers/arches etc?
