Love those wheels!

Only thing I'd say, and I might be wrong, but the cycle wings look like they are rotate too far forward?

I think a 30 degree rear-ward rotation will do it. The new guards, being asymmetric makes any misalignment look worse than it is.
Great looking build.
Be ready for early summer.

Yes, with your front arches in that position, your rear arches will get hammered with stone chips

Yep i did have my concerns about the front wings, but i'd already made the first cut!! Doh!

Might have to get some new ones as having a huge gap in the back of the arch to re adjust them will look rubbish.

You live and learn eh?!

You could fit some small mudflaps on the bottom of the front wings, not to everyones taste, but they do save your rear arches from chips, I fitted some on the second Indy I built, because I was fed up with damged to the arches on my first car.
Here's a picture of mine fitted, not the same type of arch as yours, but you get the idea.

Thanks paul, i'll have a look into that - I innocently thought the front wings were an aero item, and as such needed the top 'wing' at a slightly forward angle. just looked at the CSR's and they sit further back. I'll find a way round it.

Thanks for the comments too.

The minimalist transmission tunnel looks very Terminatoresque, (no such word, but you get the drift).
Lovin' it.
