Haha of course, ever since someone had a 'genuine carbon fibre' clad mini that was said to weigh a lot less than it did in reality On 15th Oct, 2014 alaskanow0 said:

Don't get me wrong, i like the appearance of the stuff, but as with everything, in moderation. On 26th Jan, 2012 Tom Fenton said:

The new Kad beam as a lower profile cross section, ie doesn't move the wheel back in arch like the minispares beam. So glad you posted that dude, I thought I was going mad looking at mine thinking it never used to sit that far back in the arch! On 20th Oct, 2015 Tom Fenton said:

Got 3 hours on it today, manage to cut and weld in the new tubbed arch. Still need to grind the welds back then weld inside.

The group 2's will sit about 1/2" higher. I've had to trim them so they no longer wrap around the valence, but they look OK. I'm considering fitted some overider bumpers, so shouldn't be to bad. Edited by alaskanow0 on 7th Nov, 2014. Class C 3rd Place Avon 2011 14.18 @101mph |

I covered them up with a wet towel. Beam is just fitted for mock up purposes at the minute. It's got to come off to be anodised and a slight modification to heal board so it fit perfectly flat. Class C 3rd Place Avon 2011 14.18 @101mph |

I'm going to get the car painted again anyway I think. As boot, door, inside boot, roof and front end all need painting. I've also got a few small blemishes on the rear valence and a panels. It was painted in 2008. Class C 3rd Place Avon 2011 14.18 @101mph |
