umm, yum yum... looking yolkey.... what's that mark in the middle of the boot lid at the top?

Are you getting a grey aero kit painted for this as well?

Think a genuine monty would have the later 5-piece spoiler as well, will it be getting one of those?

Well done, good job.


Thats the hole for the centre brake light wiring.

I have enough new unmarked panels to make a complete aero kit, including new bumper skins, so wont paint them unless there is a colour mis-match.

The genuine limited MonteCarlos used the very last of the early spoiler set ups, not the later 5 piece type. Also they had the standard aero wheels and not the curly ones that are currently fitted (the correct ones are being refurbished as we speak).

Dan,

Looking great, some fair old effort has gone into that.

Look just as good covered in dents and mud in the country lane as gleeming outside a posh doctors house.

Why thank you Dan. :D Not many people call Bonzooki posh. She'll like that. 8)

The plan is to build it to original specification, unless someone puts down a hefty deposit then I'll build it to the buyers specification/budget :wink:

Dan.

Being a Monte Carlo limited edition, Monte Carlo yellow seems the most appropriate colour, however, given a suitable base vehicle I am sure Dan could oblige... :wink:

At the risk of being controversial, should this thread not be in workshop? :?

This is why I asked about the c900/9-5 challenge a week or so ago!

Fair play to Dan he agreed to do it! Good Lad Dan :D

Unfortunately things at work have been mental! I have been in the Portsmouth area a few times,including this afternoon!

Sorry Dan! If my crazy idea ever takes off....I will not pick the "Monte Carlo"

About the indicators....This is a VERY tough one....I would vote for orange on nearly every colour of car......

Except Yellow!.....And Orange of course!!

A bit too similar me thinks..... :corn: :corn:

I am NOT referring to Ian's post here BTW! (I still need a slow typer smilie thingy!...Maybe I need a "MiserGrumpy" Instead!!
