Oh my god. I just started planning my attack on one of these! Talk about a coincidence, i spent a week searching biante forums to see if it had been done. I planned on cutting the bumpers off though and making new ones. As well as making an RB30 to go in (simulating what my car is being build to be, with a high mount 42). This has made my day

Cheers for the comments I knew you guys would appreciate it. I got some build up piks somewhere I'll try n post them up. Xash - How are you building an RB30 for your one? The hardest part on these is the side windows pulling them off without breaking them is a pain. ---------- Post added 05-03-12 at 07:39 ---------- Quote: Originally Posted by aus880 [View Post] ok then, window surrounds shouldn't be black wrong engine (V8) centre garnish should be grey similar to the bars rear bar looks too deep mx grey looks a bit too shiny no kick up exhaust, but then this one has a V8 It also has the wrong trim as inside is all hdt lol.
