Car looks gorgeous!!!! hmm gunna say it ...... not a fan of the wing, wrecks the smoothness of a coupe. But the colour combo is pure horn!!!!!!

Cheers bluekoop
I really thought long and hard about the wing, I was sitting on the fence but my very patient and generous wife that let me get the coupe said her one stipulation was it had to have a gt wing!! Now that its on i am happy that we did do it as i think it suits it nicely

The car looks fantastic! well done on the hard work. I think the rear spoiler looks good and will look better when the car is complete. Top job. To gcg2503 happy wife = happy life! Can you help out with the math on how to get the happy wife when there is 1 coupe in the equation? Im having trouble getting the math correct.

Ive had someone doing all the panel/paint for me and he has put massive hours into getting the body straight as she was pretty rough when i got it, I think it shows how well he has done it though and im stoked at his work!!

what happened to the rims you have in you profile pic? Or is that just photoshop?
Love how subtle the metalic looks in the pics.

bluekoop- The 20 on the back of the coupe in my avatar is what i had on my AU2 Fairmont v8 and i tried one on the back to see what it would look like. It looked pretty nice i thought, I cant wait to get it out in the sun for some pics it looks amazing in the sunlight!!

It looks better than the first one - but to be honest, this car deserves a 3 spoke GT type wheel.
Put it on your Xmas list :
