PHOTOSET – Type X RPS13 Build Progress

By February 28, 2015Photo

Finally all parts have arrived to finish off my car! Front guards took longer than expected and instead of going metal I went with Kmak Aero’s + 27mm non vented guards. Unsure if I will regret fibre glass guards but we’ll see!
One advantage to fibreglass I noticed is it holds the front bar alot better, the metal guards seem to flex letting the bar droop but the fibre glass being quite solid holds the bar in a better postion.

I’m so stoked with how the Type X copy kit turned out, it’s from JSAI Aero in NSW and the quality is amazing. So much better than the Kmak guards I purchased. Thanks Josh!

Oh yeah… I decided to go wide body. Two reasons. #1 – My wheels will actually fit without a stupid amount of camber. #2 – I save money on the massive dent on the LHS of the car, I don’t have to get it repaired šŸ˜€ Win!
The wide body guards are +30mm OriginĀ copies, I think they are from Viva Garage a long time ago! They fit good, I will take them to the fibre shop and get them fixed up a little and the body line taken out. Same with the front guards!

All I need to do now is get the dent pulled out a little to line up the over fender, roll my guards so I can lower the car more and so its hard against the over fenders (I don’t want to chop my guards so rolling them should work okay)


Then I need to finish the prep for paint, and paint it! At the moment it’s money restricting me from taking it to the body works haha.
