Looking good! Love these 80's turbo cars.
Just one little thing though, back then suspension arms were made of steel, not carbon fiber. If you like the look of it, by all means! You did a very good job decaling them. If you are going for accuracy, plain semi gloss black would do the trick.

Either way, great job so far! :)

Thanks for the comment.

It has been pointed out about the suspension on another forum. Considering the time it took to do, I will be keeping the carbon and I think it looks OK just not particularly accurate.

Looking good.....are you going to clear over the blue decals or is this already done?

The blue has been lacquered along with the rest of the bodywork. I dont think the photos show the shininess of the bodywork
