I love the look of the white flares and boot spoiler/front lip combination,
Looks really sick man,
Where abouts did you get the chin spoiler from ?
I know if wouldn't fit my 260c but any leads help!!!
Also gutted to see the damage of the radiator!
The joys of being low man ...worth it!!
Hey thanks. The chin spoiler is a rear boot spoiler from some obscure Japanese import. That's all I can tell you.

Soooo, after fixing up my radiator issues, I got on to making the 120Y look a bit more showy for the 4 & Rotors SI. After the normal last minute panic (stickers...), I finally had the car looking something like I had intended late Friday night.
Got the car out to the track day at Levels early Saturday morning and parked it in a prime spot in the pits. I had entered the Grasskarna and Burnouts but that was just a ploy to get a tee shirt and vehicle access to the pits...
Day went without any issue, heap of good comments, heaps of people taking photos and a few haters too. (they probably drove Hondas anyway...)
Show day I had chosen to enter in the outside show section. I'm glad I did after seeing the cars packed inside door to door! At least there was room to move around the cars outside.
Car looked sweet in the sun, and again heaps of photos were taken and heap of positive comments. All in all, it was a great week end.

That 120y is amazing. Absolutely spot on
Are there plans to paint the fibreglass?

Torqued>> Not at this stage, but there have been ideas floated on where to go from here!
Bartman>> More jacked up? hell no... If only there was a way to keep it this low!
Brocky>> There was a time when no-one wanted a 120y. I mean no-one, not even me. I don't think I could part with mine now!
