Started off with a pretty unconvincing Shen Body

The colour was pants and I thought it sat a little too high and the skirts were too low. So removed some of the front & side skirt and chopped out the front arch a bit so the wheels sat lower, got rid of the ridiculous rear spoiler, a bit of a spray job and fitted to a tabless chassis (and some german wheels) and voila....

That's a pretty nice makeover. I like the color choice and the bodywork choices. Paint looks smooth, too. :-o

It seems the crowd's really loving it too :-o . Not my color choice, or maybe a clear coat to shine her up :???:

I sort of like the matt look myself but might bow to popular opinion
