Jonny Crumpet 112 Posted May 9, 2021 Ok so I simply can not decide on the fender kit colour, place your votes below: Metalic Red ( as body ) Gunmetal ( as roof, grills, spoiler & splitter ) No fender kit Wheels will be Gunmetal probably. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Badcrumble 4204 Posted May 9, 2021 I'd be tempted to go no fender kit but if you do...red . Looking very nice, I must say. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For the wing mirrors, grills, rear diffuser, shark fin arial. Also got decals to do. Not loads. Wheels ( awaiting wide axals to measure ofset correctly ) Mag mounts ( its just sat over the chassis loosely for the pics ) Light buckets are in progress. Just rear and break to go then fit into shell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wooders28 4723 Posted May 10, 2021 Wheels look to fill the arches anyway? So maybe need wider hexes (and low profile wheel nut), different off set / wider wheels, for it to look right with Red arches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

topforcein 1764 Posted May 10, 2021 red if you paint them same as the wheels then it will all blend and will cancel out the fenders appearance on the shell but if you paint the wheels a diff colour then why not gun metal for the fenders Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ah, so the body was strategically posed for the photos to show how it may look. :-) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jonny Crumpet 112 Posted May 10, 2021 Looks like Red is the clear winner, I hope I have enough left in the can. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So what adhesive would you use to attach the over fenders to the body? I would use some thin VHB mounting tape..is that the norm? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alexei 547 Posted May 10, 2021 i dont like over fenders, but if you have to use them, i would paint them body color. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It looks from other builds online scale screws are used, there are indents for "bolts" where these would go. My thought was this with posibly hot glue on the underside.

Badcrumble 4204 Posted May 11, 2021 An alternative to hot glue is shoo goo, commonly used to reinforce bodies. No heat against your recently painted body required either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You would mount the tape just inside the mating line enough to pull the over fenders to contact the body. But you will need to make sure the paint is thick enough that the tape's shadow does not seep through. You mentioned limited paint left, so. With tape you can cleanly remove it if anything goes wrong. I suppose if you're confident in placement, ShooGoo as Badcrumble mentioned. I've never used ShooGoo on the outside of the body.
