This is only my second build and I really wanted to try and make a good job of the paint work.Ā Which basically meant changing my mind on colours,Ā digressing over styleĀ and avoiding starting for a few extra weeks but at last it's done. This was a red edition kitĀ so IĀ wanted to use some red, but didn't want to go box art. I painted a few spoon tests andĀ ended up with a full baseĀ coat ofĀ Gun Metal and then masked up for a Metallic Red top half. For the graphics I went with the less is more approach but may add some more later. Apart from the cosmetics It's pretty stock, I just added the CVAs front and rearĀ and the AMPRO transmissionĀ brace. Overall it was a fun build andĀ I'm pretty happy with the results.

Amazing paint !Ā 
howĀ do you like the Ampro transmission brace ?Ā 

It's pretty perfect, super simple to fit and does exactly what it is supposed to. If i had to complain about anything it would be the heavy shipping cost, but that doesn't take away from the design or use. I would recommend it.

      Hi Jon,
      In the linked image, I've simply moved the bar forward until it is centered directly over the rear shock tower (approx. 10.72mm) and kept the same height. Ā Is this what you had in mind?
