jeebowhite Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Welcome to the family, I have to say, the spoiler isnt quite my thing, but it still looks good! looks like an excellent example of an ST though! I was ammused, I had to look again, as I thought you modder her to carry what looked like an air force looking roof box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davebradshaw Posted October 21, 2013 Author Share Posted October 21, 2013 It's hard too get a good photo of spoiler it looks better in real life but it is marmite it's off a focus wrc car so fully adjustable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 I think if you got a further back shot of it, I might be more in favour, but I feel like I am about to have my face planted into it, so it looks a tad more odd :p lol, it does look more understated in your under the cockpit shot!

jamesm182 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Bluefin is indeed very popular on the ST170. As you say though seems quite a lot of money for the relatively small gain you get Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davebradshaw Posted October 22, 2013 Author Share Posted October 22, 2013 Yeah that works out at near £50 per 1bhp maybe later if I have the money but side skirts next and then start boot build next week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davebradshaw Posted October 22, 2013 Author Share Posted October 22, 2013 Yeah a few people who didn't like wrapped bonnets changed there opinion when they saw my bonnet wrapped as it suits the colour not sure if I should do roof or not ?????
