Looks more 944 rather 924 now

Personally I think the first set of rear arches looked better.

There is still a chance the look of the car could completely change. I have the front group 5 arches and bumper so will be testing the look of the car as full group 5 eyebrow type arches all round and see how it looks.

Just have to collect the panels and will post pics of that option too

after offering all options up, i think i have come to a decision on the look of the car.

some canards at the front to blend the front wings and bumper together where they join, a front splitter, and some sort of silly rear wing, and i think i will have achieved the look im after.

let me know your thoughts.

i love the blue as well, i think blue/black colour scheme will be the way i go, think it suits the car and wheels set it off nicely

That's starting to look really aggressive, the early style front end goes much better with the boxed arches than the S2 style nose. Looking forward to seeing how you're going to blend it all in. What sort of rear wing are you planning?

Post subject:  Re: Porsche 924 Turbo race car project
Yes I think the front bumper looks better. More aggressive and boxy. Also makes the car look wider as you can see more of the front tyre.

Rear wing will be something over the top. Big and wide. Just need to find something suitable and then make custom mounts and end plates to get the look I'm after.

I think will a front splitter and some canards it will finish the look off nicely.

Love the wheels and generally where you are going with this Nick. GTR arches would be my first choice but the GTP ones with the GTR spoiler also looks tops.

If I wasn't spending on a gearbox rebuild and paint correction this Spring, I'd be buying those GTR arches off you in a flash.

i do like the gtr panels, but i find the front looks too wide and makes the rear look too narrow. it just doesnt quite sit right with me for the style im going for. the boxy look is more what im after. but everyone has different tastes so there will always be people who dont agree with the style i have gone for. (not saying you dont agree, as taken your compliments on board)

looking forward to moving forward with it now i know the styling route im sticking with

want to find a suitable stupid big rear wing to top it off and some canards/splitters to finish the front. will also add another matching naca duct on the bonnet

It's too narrow for the chassis/wheels Nick has gone for. Not an option.

The GTR is a wider kit than the CGT.

Post subject:  Re: Porsche 924 Turbo race car project
Yes this car is substantially wider than the cgt kit. The wheel figment is spot on front and rear as it stands.

The wheels are 9.5j fronts et-10

Rears are 11.5j et-10

Also running abs hubs which give a wider track too, to ensure minimal spacers required to fill arches.
