i might fit stone guards but im not sure if i would go carbon, stainless or something else.

my real concern is if my bonnet is going to catch fire from the heat of the exhaust as its all quite close for my liking

Ash every time I see your car, be it a picture or in the flesh it spurs me on.

I hope to get the Sierra out of the garage this weekend so I can get my garage back and trial fit the engine and gearbox in two weeks time when I have a week of work. Nine to five on the car.

Any news of gainful employment for yourself.

stainless

edge the bonnet where exhaust exits with some metal piping.

Looking fantastic Ash

A real credit to you, the many hours of hard work that you have put into the build are reflected in its build quality.

I must say, that Black contrasts nicely with the alloy & gives quite a stunning overall look

Really looking forward to seeing it for real at Stoneleigh mate
