what to do next

Hi all, I fancy a bit of a project, and al after some ideas.

I have had my locoblade for around a year now.

this is how it is looking at the mo

I am thinking about painting/wrapping the sides arches and wheels gloss black, and some rubber floor mats

any other ideas on things that i could do?

thanks
Ian

Lovely example.

I like your carbon exhaust can (is it nice a quiet enough for trackdays?) and love your rear diffuser too, is that an MK fibreglass item?

If it were mine, I'd be tempted by a full cage maybe? unless its not your thing?

I'd like to see the arches black, and smaller dominator style headlights for the meaner more agressive look...

All just my opinion mind

But are crap for actually seeing where you're going in the dark!

Admitted they do look good though

was also thinking about some carbon 3/4 box edging to go over the top of the side panels and the floor bar near where your knees would be

Paddleshift is a worthwhile upgrade, preferably with a quickshifter if you don't already have one fitted.

same colour as mine btw, although iv'e added a bit of black

Paddle Shift is a fantastic upgrade, fitted one to my Aries a couple months ago.

You could also fit a AB Airbox with a duct on top of the nose to force the air into it, that's going to be my winter upgrade, airbox already fitted just need to cut a hole in the nose to fit the duct

Cheers

The sides are wrapped using matt black vinyl, same stuff they use for signs, surprisingly durable stuff.

Rear arches and nose cone are matt black painted which is dead easy to touch up.

Do you know where the rear diffuser is from ? looks mint.
