Making spoilers

QUOTE (Scott @ 15 Jan 2005, 13:33)You might laugh - no, you will laugh - but I had these on my desk at Austin Rover when they first came out nearly 20 years ago.

Frustrated that it was devoid of wings I cut up one of my business cards and made the wings from that. Fixed with Pritt and spray mount then painted they looked pretty good. I used Milliput to extend the rear arch overt he door and I had - to my mind - a pretty good 6R4. It was certainly no worse that the Team Slot one pictured above - at least my front wing was straight!

I laugh not
I threw away my mg metro's years ago only to buy some back at extortionate prices the other week.

I was going to go with this method not only for the doors but also for the bonnet.

Any photo's you do have no matter how bad will surely be a help.

OOPs

Too late.
I have already modded them both.
1 by adding the opening in the bonnet and the second by extending the skirt over the door.

Doesn't matter though as they both look cool.

I may give the spoilers a miss though, I can see trouble with them coming off in cases of bad accidents.

Just got sort out a decent place to house a magnet and I will be ready to give them a nice paint job.

Thanks anyway.

you mention in your website
QUOTE The new wheels, not only look similar to the originals are also deep dished which was a characteristic of this car.

What wheel size are they?

I am looking at some gom ones at the mo but I am open to alternatives.

Also where did you get the vac-form mould from?

It would be cool to have the engine in the back like yours, I could also have a stab at to the bonnet bulges then!

cheers
