If you mean the body, Yes. I'm doing it in the same color as it came in, hence why I never bothered to paint the under side.

When I was doing my first kit RX7 I forgot to paint bottom of the car and thought of it AFTER all suspension and drivetrain details was painted and attached. My wife fixed the bottom not too bad. She is better with brush than me

I am shocked by both of you!
 I have that kit too Cosworth! I plan on black with aftermarket 18" rims, lowered suspension and modded engine bay! (If I can find some parts!) Are you doing the US version, Japanese version or the Euro model? |

I'm going with the US version. I was suprised at how low the car is, Don't think it would need lowering.

I am going for the Euro version as you get the hood scoop and the deep chin spoiler! I'll have a look at yours when you have completed it and then decide on the lowering! Keep up the good work! BTW, where abouts in England are you? |

Do you have any nicer wheels? The standard ones are a bit tame!

Well, I've got some off a WRC focus that went a bit wrong so all the bits have gone into the parts box, but they stick out about 0.7mm

If you saw how much the wheels stuck out on my Celica, you would have been amazed!
You have to file down the disc, as you can see by the black bit in this photo. Therefore you are bringing the wheel further into the arch. If it is too much for a first project we understand! But it could look good! What colour would you do the wheels? I see Chrome or Dark Silver as per the box! |

I like the idea of fileing the disc away a bit, I'll have a go at it later tonight, then post the results up
