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.

ALL c900s look good, one of those rare totally timeless and classless cars.
Look just as good covered in dents and mud in the country lane as gleeming outside a posh doctors house.

Dan.

Why thank you Dan.

Not many people call Bonzooki posh. She'll like that.

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.

Looks stunning. If it was black, blue or ruby red I would find the money....

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:

top work there Dan, that is looking absolutely superb

that seriously is going to be the best c900 vert.......and one that properly looked after will only appreciate in value. Just hope it goes to a good home!

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

You think?

I just see BIRDIES build thread in Performance, mine and Chris's in Classics and this one in the coffee bar, that's all.

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

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:

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