Modified a factory sump guard to fit my vert today ;)

Curious why it would need to be modified to fit a vert? Looks like you'd be able to fit your fist between the guard and sump now

The vert chassis is slightly different to sedans or coupes. It is wider at the front  at the front and where the sump guard would normally mount is no existent. There's approximately 7mm of gap betwen the guard and the sump. The picture isn't doing it justice.  Fits nice and snug to the engine subframe and to the front chassis rails now.

Did some late night Italian tuning - quick run out to Arrowtown and back. Got absolutely DUSTED on the Dalefield back roads by an Alfa GTV. The 1.6 was well above 7K and spitting flames as it rocketed past me 😁 God they're an achingly gorgeous car.

Messing about with some hellrot panels from a ti that decided to upside-down itself.

first pass at 1000rpm with farecla G3 premium on a yellow pad with a Rupes 21mm DA. Gonna have some fun ending up burning through!
