    Mock; a thought… dont use that carbon vinyl on the outside of your shell, one roll and you’ll be wanting to pull it off again. These days there are decals that are stuck to the inside of the shell previous to painting… there may be a carbon type one available, so no matter how many times you roll you wont damage the carbon fibre finish.

    yea, there’s no real need to use spacers… on 01 just go narrow or wide all round (depending on the width of the body, of course! I found wide on all four corners to be quite nice to drive with a Merc. wide shell…), or get a set of each for 02, narrow front and wide rear. This’ll give you a spare set for your 02 as well… hope this helps

    Red Dwarf movie? Smeg!! How did this fly under my radar? Did this ever eventuate? (i know this is an old topic…) Dave; i did’nt mind series 5… Rimmer’s being taken by the crew of the “Holoship” was pretty funny… Heaven and Hell was pretty crap though. Gotta say series 1 and 2 are the best though…

    Mocky; i think i can help you here… as for windows, if your shell does’nt have the window surrounds (some do, some do’nt, it seems…), try this; after spraying the body, cut the decals while still on 1.5 – 2mm in from the edge (needs steady hands), then remove those pieces you cut. If done right, you’ll be able to spray the window lines in, and if you’re really good with an artists blade you will find it looks as good as the actual window trim decals. (cheers big Dave for this tip…) As for applying decals hassle free, look for Kev’s Mini topic, i outline a simple method that is pretty much fail-proof. Do you need carbon decal? lol And as for the Lancer, will double check tonight, but i think Frewer do make one… you’ll have to ask Z-beam about tints and stuff
