Nice one, lovely looking, the e/hast running the wrong way is quirky 
I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered.

where did you get the rear wing from ? I wrongly assumed iva wouldnt like them....
Ps I once went out for a run with Martin in his Midi demo, and did consider A Midi build - He is barking mad

thanks for the comments
exhaust runs back to front (the wrong way so to speak) to help with the noise levels
rear wing was picked up off Ebay, no probs with it apart from
covering nearly every edge with trim

I think it looks really smart and awesome fun mate. I like the rear spoiler and the rear lights. The headlights look awesome as well. To be honest
I didn't notice the crazy exhaust at first but it does make me grin.

Very well done - cracking looking car, just that little bit different - was this a first time pass or were you on a retest?
I would worry about the exhaust fumes being sucked into the cab area with that layout, but otherwise there is really no law of physics which says
'exhaust fumes must travel front to back' ?

Hey,
Well done on the IVA pass.
I love the Exhaust, you have inspired me to do a similar thing. I was trying to figure out how to pipe my exhaust out the back, the turbo sits right
against the bulkhead and to go under the engine and fit a cat, humm space might be tight. I have mentioned in the past i am building a midi, but want
it to remain as close looking to a normal 7 or locost as it can. Meaning i want a short rear end. The exhaust silencer mounted on the back means extra
body work to think about.
Added bonus with the exhaust at the front, you will see the flames spit out on gear change when you beasting it around! Childish some may say.... but
i think adds to the driving experience!
Good work!

had to sort Power Commander, check the emissions and few issues to get to the test.
