I have been working on the front end, trying to make the panels fit over the new wheels by trimming away metal and plastic from the front fenders and bumper.

This photo shows how low the car is and also that I have extended the wheelbase by 35mm by moving the front wheels forward.



After some trimming I could get the panels back on, you can see I need to remake the panels with a new shape.





I also had to seek some clarification on the rules as one section said I could cut away any metal necessary for bump clearance and another section said I could only make changes to the shock towers solely for suspension geometry changes.

After getting the go-ahead from the technical director I did the minimum amount of trimming to the strut towers so the tyres would no longer make contact.





I have also been trimming away some metal around the wheel wells to help with air evacuation, I post some photos of that once its done.
