The car was due to go for paint last Monday, but Kev my painter has had the builders in and he isn't quite ready at his end. Just as well, because after a long discussion with my brother in law, Gareth, I've decided to send the car the car back to Brian for some more surgery. Weight is the first emeny of acceleration and I knew that the Beemer would need to go on a serious diet. After a good look around for more weight saving, I'm going to ask Brian to cut out the spare wheel well in the boot floor and plate it over. This should save a few more kilos and will also create a space underneath the car into which we can fabricate an air diffuser out of ally. The photo below shows the space created by getting rid of the spare wheel well and the rear valance cut away in prep for a rear air diffuser. Whilst the car is with Brian, we'll also look into the possibility of flaring the exhisting wheel arches.
