That looks absolutely mean!

I do miss the carbon, but then seeing as that look has been adopted by someone else, it's only suiting that you've moved on.

Good work!

Also, Jed...

A wing is a type of fin with a surface that produces lift for flight or propulsion through the atmosphere, or through another gaseous or liquid fluid. As such, wings have an airfoil shape, a streamlined cross-sectional shape producing a useful lift to drag ratio.

Aidan you can lift the tailgate with your little finger ;-)



I'm hoping the Fiberglass one will just be as light when I order it on 27th

Mate, you cannot threaten someone for copying you, your taking all that negative, you publicise your car very well, youve spent a lot of time and effort on it, its understandable, but dont go threatening people for "copying you"
its not unique one off fabrication work, its off the shelf purchasable items, so other people are gonna see you car and get ideas, All corsas look the same, everyone grabs idead off everybody else. its the way it is, so dont throw your weight around cause someones took a few good ideas youve had.

Proper FWD drag car, good work Ben. Such a shame Jed couldn't wait and let you do a full write up with finished pics after the weekend.. Poor show

Will be interested to see it run the 1/4 on race fuel  

I like the front end now with the new cooler, looks better suited and designed rather than the previous monster aha
