Completed - Super GT MX-5 (56k)

Hi guys,

Even though i couldnt meet the deadline for the SPC contest, i still went on with this project. Thanks to those who gave comments and suggestions.

Remember, this started as a normal NB kit. I thought of doing like a rice rocket but then i changed my mind when i worked on my Xanavi R34. My plan was to make a Super GT MX-5 now.
The progress thread : http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...d.php?t=646773

Here is a summary:
Custom Body work
Enlarged wheel wells and lowered
Hard top glued on and built "mooncraft top"

Body sprayed Gun metal and cleared with Mr.Hobby
Full carbon front end
Carbon front spoiler
Scratchbuilt flat under body with diffuser
Ings GT-wing
Wheels+tires from the Falken Skyline R32
Brakes taken from Rx-7 and enlarged and painted carbon ceramic
Holes frilled in the front
Decals from various kits
Exhaust tip from Revell
Carbon side diffusers
Scratchbuilt Full insert thingy

Full carbon dash
Race prepped interior w/ roll cage
Seat taken from Beetle Cup car.
Steering wheel from Xanavi R34 kit.
