My widebody dream is slowly...coming to a reality

Tony from twauto in hongkong just wrote me:

Hi PK,
The GT3 rear clam already arrived in my shop. I will take some photo for you.
The front spoiler will arrive next week.

TW
twauto@pacific.net.hk


So next week, my front spoiler, then the week after the kit will be on my baby here in Bkk, thailand.......

Now, still have to pay sylvia in France for the rear carbon fiber adjustable wing of 1,600 euros

I'll keep u guys posted

Safe driving,
PK

Mag, i envy you so much, driving the s240 and so close to TW auto. How's the actual TWR Kit installed on the white Exige? is it as nice as the pics in his website?
just a quick question, since you live so close to TW auto and you saw the installed version already, the TWR kit doesnt interest you? why?

that looks great! although might I suggest a modification to the roof intake. More specifically widening it like it is on the Cadena GT3. The full width of the Cup roof intake from front of hardtop all the way to the engine lid.

Um... i could have gone that route, but then I would have gotten a SC elise and changed the clam. but that goes against my new house rules to minimize modifications. and my nsx and gtr are already wide bodied. It's really cool but a PITA. Does your front clam come complete with inner fender linings? Plus I dont think that wide body exige can go to many places without ending up with damage to front bumper. I haven't seen it yet, wasnt in the shop yesterday but will go back in couple days to check out some parts so may be i'll get lucky.

That cadena rear hatch and hood scoop interest me however... need to ask tony if they have worked on something like that yet.

I'm in the process of updating the Exterior Modifications Thread on the eve of its one year anniversery, it'll be much more comprehensive with larger pictures when all is said and done. I have some good pictures of the TW widebody in white that'll be included in that. As far as more pics from the Hong Kong gallery posted by Arnie, haven't seen those ones myself...

I didn't take those pics, those photos were taken during the Hong Kong Lotus Club launch, and the local press came along so we lined up the 4 cars for the shoot.

Hi Pkhot915,
if you want this spoiler, don't buy it from Lir but directly from LM CORSE :
http://www.lmcorse.com/gs/storea4e/G...?idProduct=124

it's realy cheaper !!!! i alredy order some parts from them..no problem
