As it stands, there is a sheet of steel between my exhaust and the rear light panel, as per the build dvd.

I quoteth " my wings are like a shiiield of steeeel " lol

I would get JD to remove it before painting.. Also if you are going down this route have you seen - http://r.ebay.com/btzm9i .  It's a bit bent but nothing JD couldn't fix.. a man with many talents ;-)

Hi Alex ,just had a look at the grill on eBay it's a bit worse than it looks on this link ,the close up shots show the mesh it torn and the end is folded in also ,I'm not saying i couldn't repair it but I would of liked to see it in the flesh before I bought it ,( Germany is a bit far for a ride out lol), but yes I can remove the rear steel panel before I do the body work , cheers jd

On the subject of F360 rear light panels, will a genuine 360 light panel fit on an Extreme 360?

Don't see why not mate , there ment to be exact same size !!  That's why we make our cars fit the kit , not the kit fit the car !!!!

Hey JD,

Thanks for the comments. I am going to leave the Haagen daas showing as it adds a bit of character lol
Just need to think where I can incorporate a Pepsi can, as that's what powered my build

Lol good work Alex on the Haagen daz.

Maybe it's just me but there is something very satisfying in using everyday objects on these builds. I used a load on mine.

Baked bean cans and soup cans on my dummy engine
Tv and computer aerial wires on the dummy engine
Kitchen cupboard door hinges on my z flaps
Plastic Tupperware box to make a rain cover for the car battery
A round silver cake tin with the bottom cut out to make the Rev counter surround
Roofing flashing tape as a door sound insulator as opposed to  dynamat. Much cheaper
PlayStation gaming wheel mannetino switch
Plastic chopping board for my wing mirror back covers

Will u be going to brands hatch in Nov for total kit car live?
