      You sprayed your front bumper or is it a light weight fiberglass job?

      Kept meaning to ask if the magenta front bumper was for sale?

                Re: DW's Sapphire Cosworth race car

                Fibreglass panels, bonnet pins and boot springs all fitted and Rouse spoiler bolted to bootlid







                All of the panels fitted very nicely with minimal fettling

                Just gotta whack a couple of pins in the back of the rear bumper now..

                            My new Jaz foam filled tank arrived and as it has a sump in the centre I made a matching ramp in the middle of the tank stand so it sits perfectly. The pumps and swirl pot (which is probably ott with the sump now, but better safe than sorry) are gonna be on the open half of the wheel well now rather than under the cover so that they are easier to get to and any small leak could be spotted straight away.







                            Straps going in today, loads of new fuel fittings on order and will mount all of the pumps etc in the week

                              for 2017 the MSA are banning webbing tow straps and making stanless wire straps mandatory

                                Got some nice oz wheels on the car. They are too narrow for the race tyres unfortunately but I'll either keep them as for rolling around to prevent ruining the slicks in the garage or I might even sell them on which would be a shame as they are my favourite rims. Unless someone can band alloy wheels lol..
