Let's hope you will find time ;) Definitely an EU cars issue

To stay with "whitish" car, I prefer the 2021 heritage by far, but it's just my personal preference ;) Now, I think there is some delay on the production and some cars are now to be delivered in 2023, so we might see another Heritage Livery, maybe Miles/Hulme.

Yes, market based. For exemple Switzerland which is obviously in Europe but not in the European Union (just like the UK now), uses the same norms as the EU but the periodic inspection is totally different. For example first one comes after 5y, then 3y and finally every 2y. But if your car is...

Looks really good even if I am usually not a fan of white cars 😅 Is it me or the bulkhead is exposed ? no NVH pannel ?

Mansory is really "man sorry"... Every single year at the Geneva Motor Show they have a stand and I always end up with the same reaction: :sick: 🤮 But really making that to a GT is criminal... Their company is based in switzerland (I am not proud of that 😓) but their target is clearly middle...

Tinted CF is usually made by adding some tint in the clear coat. One other sort of "tinted" carbon I might think is when manufacturers add some colored strand into the CF wave, but I don't what is the material used for the tinted strands...

Hi all, Due to the COVID-19 the official movie is currently available on youtube for free. For the ones that have interest in watching it, here is the link. Not a lot about the GT as it's more a movie about le mans itself.

@Apollo when can I ship to you my model for the wrap ? I need a skilled installer like you ;) Otherwise, as promised, here the pictures of the completed GT (click on the picture to zoom):

Yes, really need practice to not break parts when removing them ;) I would also have keep the buttress on the model for a regular repaint. But for the carbon foil, I really needed to have them removed. Nice model you have done here, good work :)

Thanks a lot for you comment. Yes, I think that some color makes it nicer :) For the mirrors, I haven't started them now. I think I will do them with 3 carbon decal section (top, inner side, bottom) to avoid wrinkles. Won't be super easy as they are small, but I think it won't be harder than...

Hi all, Hope I post this in the right place, otherwise please move the thread. As you all know, we must now spend most of our time at home... Just sharing with you what I did on my side with the hours I had :ROFLMAO: So just got a white 1:18 Ford GT, and made it carbon :cool: It's not the...

Then, you should never buy a 997 GT3 RS. The fire-retardant fabric used for the bucket seats is worse than any alcantara, could replace a vacuum cleaner and perform better :ROFLMAO: Agree, just vacuum. It's enough.

My point of view from the other side of the Atlantic: - For sure Europe isn't the same market as North America, that's a fact. And yes in some markets they are ridiculously expensive (nordic countries comes first in my mind). But as almost all cars tends to be more expensive there, it doesn't...

I know that some did back out in Europe due to the current stock market (Covid-19...). But I don't think it affects that much the delivery schedule. The explanation provided by DBK seems more correct to me. Also many cars are heading to Europe this and next year (they finally got the technical...

Thanks a lot for your information Dave. I just hope all MNV employee are safe, some delay in production is nothing compared to health ;)

I've read the following in the news: Production at Ford's US, Canadian and Mexican manufacturing facilities will be halted after Thursday evening's shifts through March 30 Think that MM Niche Vehicles is also affected ? In all cases all these things are required in the current situation as...

Maybe take a look at this ;)

I don't think that it saves weight as the carbon is clear coated but I might be wrong. To really save weight, you should have a carbon finish like koenigsegg with the KNC (you can read about it here)

Apparently liquid carbon cars base price is approx 750k compared to approx 500k for the "regular" (sounds weird to call a GT regular :ROFLMAO:), so 250k extra. I wonder if some of them will be delivered to Europe and what will be their price here. But I'm sure it will be even more expensive in...

finally an article about the changes. It has larger ducting to feed 50% more cool air to the turbo intercoolers, allowing it to run at peak performance for longer periods, revised engine calibration, mechanical upgrades like gallery-cooled pistons and higher energy ignition coils, and Ford has...
