Spanish has Mig and Vauxsport stickers. They're fine if you have them on different sides of the cars.

why does it need a MIG sticker? No-one knows who/what MIG "is".

Wazpaz car is the same, but in different colours to my own, and with an orange cage. Warren has only just figured out that you can watch pictures through the box in the corner of his living room, so it'll be a while before he figures out that he can put images onto a computer and then onto the www

Vauxsport is on the side of the car due to me using the basic design of some of 'their' cars, it was only fair.

Abit of progress.

Decided it was time to get a battery cut-off switch; I never leave the battery on when I'm not using the car, so aswell as abit of safety, the idea is to make it quicker to re-connect the battery up. Abit of hole cutting and some wiring and we're done (and yes I know it's not FIA approved...)




As the switch was now in place, I could put some proper bolts on my battery box


I picked up my grp tailgate from the bodyshop...


and fitted the last bit of livery to it


and then bought these to keep it all locked up with


Then it was onto to this parcel




Started to fit it...



..then I got bored to gave up.

Final picture of the front polycarbs

Havent' decided. Looks more poverty without a spoiler, but I think that the spoiler may help with abit of downforce at 100mph+ ?
