Another update:

As i stated earlier, this build is inspired by rieger.
But as i continue to work on the body i am becoming more and more attracted to completely reproducing it instead of "rieger is just an inspiration".
So the body itself will be a fairly (if not completely) accurate reproduction of the rieger gto bodykit.
The hood and front bumper will only be a little different .

So here are the new detailing thingys

First off, i made the rear wing completely from scratch,


It still does'nt fit right, but a bit of sanding and it should fit.

The sideintakes are done and i'm very happy with the results, cause they are completely made out of putty.

The line you see on top of the intake will be stretched, but first the door needs some adjustments.



The rear bumper now has the shape it needs.

I made the lower part of the bumper a little narrower so the wheels are more exposed if you see it from the rear.



The fender flares where dremeled out so the body could stick lower to the ground.


Here you can see how low it can go now


And here are some overall progress shots.




The body still needs some putying to remove the scratches and some fine sanding to remove the bumps.
The sideskirts will also be made completely from scratch but that's for the next update.
Good and bad comments are welcome as i'm still in the learning fase
