I have test fitted them today, they need some adjustment, its (like i thought) too big and slightly hits the turret/chassis.
When I have them tested and have a plan to make these I will open a topic to take orders.
I am not going to make money off of them but just cover my fabricationcosts a little.
I payed 400 Euro but sure I can copy them for alot less.
Will be continued!

We were lucky with the weather. My good friends Rob and Tom came with me to help.
I had plenty of problems with the car. RH driveshaft kept popping out. but thanks to Rob and Tom i did make it to the finals and win 3rd place!
O crap… driveshaft popped out on the beginning of the straight. luckely I made it to the pit and got some help!
nice shot from the front
Back view
The “mechanics” chatting away
Still managed to secure 3rd place with help of the guys!
A week later.. the car was almost ready my worst nightmare happened.. After getting some fuel at a petrolstation close to my garage I pulled away to go to the APK (MOT) check..
When I did a U turn I put my foot down too hard and lost control of the car. It suddenly veered to the left and I had no space.. Hit a tree and slid off the banking toward the water.
I was extremely lucky I didn’t roll .. I got help from a local garage and had my car back in my shop 30 min later.. where I sat down in shock. :”(
The next time attack was in 2.5 wheeks.. what was I going to do now.. the whole front-end was damaged, tractionbar bend.. even the frame wat bend..
I had one week to fix it as I had to work and had a holiday planned.
LETS GO FOR IT..
It took me litteraly BLOOD-SWEAT and some tears.. worked on the car 12 hours a day.
ordered parts from FullCarTuning who where awesome!! and just got it done in time!
Two weeks later… on the trailer to Assen
ROUND FOUR Time Attack 2016
It was a very wet day in Assen and had no grip at all.
Also did not have time to get the car alligned so it was not straight when braking hard.
Took it easy and kept it in one piece. I only became 5th that day but it was fun.
First a video of my hotlap. It started pouring when I left the pitlane. Water came in via the roofscoop and the track turned very slippery.
this is me struggling for grip.
Installed some new lights
checking tire pressure
nice shots
It was the last timeattack and I became SECOND in the PRO FWD 2016 Chapionship!!!!
second place for the first PRCT Prelude!
Results this year: 3rd twice and 2nd overall!
Not because I was so quick but because I kept on going!
Thanks to everyone who helped and supported me!
Till next year! Plenty of things to fix and upgrade!!
Blimey David, talk about mixed emotions! You did hell of a well to get her back to her former glory and she still looks great! Was that yet another replacement bumper... And bonnet?
Great results though bud, at least you can say it's all worth it
