Project Silver, PIC HEAVY

Awesome job Steve :thumbs:

Shouldn't there be a nice discreet "ScubaSteve" or even just plain "Scuba" decal on there mate - just something to identify you if we see you or pictures of you hooning around a track as someone is bound to copy your car and I'd like to know which is the original :lol:

As for the bonnet decals i.e. the Puma or Ford logo's, don't like either mate. They just don't match the way you've done the rest of the car for impact.

Just look for the black roof vent lol can't see many people cutting there roof up

did a side by side shot, as i came into work today and an image of the car before i did the graphics was set as my desktop wallpaper, i was quite shocked at the difference it ahs made to the car

I personally think it will be too much ford racing with those corner stickers too

oh yeah i forgot about them

a quick mock up of my splitter design in photoshop, iv read load of articles about splitter properties and shape etc, will incorporate large pan under the car as far back as the leading edge of the wheels, the brake ducts will be redesigned like so, and plastic panel at the rear with the duct piping attached, its my own take of the official s1600 bumper/splitter, going to take a bit of designing but i personally think it will be good, material will be 4mm or 5mm (if i can get it) thick composite aluminium

thoughts?

Looks pretty near identical to the S1600 setup. Looks good.

so cracked on with making this splitter, bear in mind its still not finished got lots of tidying up to do, trim edge to put on edges and the front edge of the splitter etc.

take one 2mx0.5mx12mm sheert of HDPE plastic, some alu strip and some right angle brackets

removed the rubber trim on the bottom of the bumper

taped where it needs trimming

big piece of card to make template out of

rear most edge hit the sump though

so cut a square out

sketched out

cut out

transferred to plastic sheet and cut out

that has since been retrimmed to a better curve but no pics of that

a section of box steel

to be used as a spacer to bolt the splitter up against the rad support

nut slot into the groove perfect so are self captive

underneath

from behind

bent the alu strip into a support bracket, im going to use a proper right angle bracket at the bottom of it eventually though

cut the bumper away, and made some inner arch sections for it

pics of it so far

still got the middle rubber piece to cut and put back in aswell as the right angle brackets along the front edge of the splitter, although its solid as fuck even without those, i reckon i could hang off it.

Also got some of those adjuster things to go on the leading edge of the splitter

Damn... you certainly get things done when you want to just crack on!!!

Looks really good!! Very similar to the S1600 with the size of surface area.

 

[LOONEY]

looking good there mate :thumbs: :thumbs:

 

[moondustka]

nice job

 

[yippeekiay]

My opinion only but it looks like a bodge job compared to the rest of the great work you've done Steve.

 

[ScubaSteve]

probably because its not finished yet :roll: lol

theres quite a bit still left to do on it but i ran out of time yesterday

 

[Sparx]
