Bit of an update,

just put in a nice order for carbon fibre parts for the nova from Chris at Www.cmcomposites.co.uk again due to his top work on bits iv had from him and the goodies he has done for plenty of people, fair bit of it to add to his big list :thumb:

Carbon dash thanks to Chris that will be flocked, very light (2kg)

















just need to trim/cut the area for the rollcage, lucky i have 2 old dashes that have already been cut and one was in it so i can get it right, then sort out some dials/clocks

Got a few more bits coming from Chris, and im also waiting for M/J kit from matt brown so i am getting there.

Went for the easy route and put XE in lol, probably fitting the R1 carbs to it too

Needs painting and few bits but getting there now



Not sure on colour tested a few in areas and not keen on any apart from matte black, some look rubbish, but seen a couple look good mainly ExTrEmeOC's bad boy.

This looks nice in sun, but i dont think i would do full car in it



and the other
