Yep, the cutting guide will need a bit of easing on mine to clear the bolts. But it's fine for first fit.

I had the crescent sections and tried them with the GRP rear tub and they would not fit. So they were cut/bashed off.

If your floor is quit thick then the lower lip may need removing on the side panels.

Having panels on transforms the car

Yup I can see me taking the cresent section off as I can imagine they're a total nightmare to fit the tub over. Can't wait to get more of it on over the holidays, just having the nosecone on makes it look amazing

Brian,

The side panels are now made with 2 x 300 gsm matt, rather than 450, and minimally overlapped just to give the sides a bit of extra clearance around the sides of the chassis. So should be okay for those with slightly thicker floor plates.

Your grp conversion tubes are on their way with TNT today so will be with you tomorrow.

Enjoy.....AndyH
