Look what i,ve done!
The rear was easy to fit while i had to grind & rebuild part of the bit by the lights & guard.
The side skirts are too short by about 20mm so going back to the supplier for answers!

dont worry this is nothing new i had to cut my side skirts in half and rebuild them the front bumper never fits to the gards and the rear bumper fits ok(ish)

actually the sideskirts dont fit at all i made mine out of about 8 pieces after i cut them to pieces

Thanks Sprsta-i was prepared to cut them as i doubt i have any claim seeing as tho i have owned them already for 8 months.Just as well i am proficient in fibre-glassing!

Side-skirts now cut & temporary glued & screwed in place till hardened then i will be glassing the gap & giving the completed shell a few more coats

that is a good fit to be honest i used that stuff you laminate school books with (girlfriends mom is a school teacher) and stuck it to the side of my car then glassed to that it seems to release pretty good i should have taken some pictures.
i suppose was is a diference in price between mine and yours though at $250 for the full kit i was ok with it

i thought it was funny that it came in primer and rubbed down and ready to paint though. i would laugh if someone got them painted and tried to fit them tmemselves

and also make sure you carry the line down from the wheel arch on the front guard

Laminate books with? School?aaaaaaaaaaah! but a fading memory!
Not sure what you mean by carry the line down from the front guard?

Where did you get the kit from?

I managed to destroy my nosecone in a smash at a Pukekohe race meeting a couple of weeks ago and need to get another one that has suitable intakes for brake cooling ducts and oil cooler.

I got the kit from a guy selling out of a shed in Otahuhu which are now called the Bodykit Warehouse & as far as i know are still selling the same kit.They put it on Trademe un der MX5 parts every so often.

I thought it might be that place.
Any chance of having a look at your car?
I think we aren't too far away from each other. I'm on the Shore
I've got wheel arch flares to go over the slicks and would like to see if the Invader bumper will work with them.
I've tried sending a PM but for some reason it won't go through.
