Thanks! Didn’t think of that - looks like I just missed out.

Another ///MR in the garage - nice

. Looking at the wheels and what looks like lowered suspension(?) it appears to have a bit of modding history? Looking forward to reading about it.

Where did it goes after you? Looks fantastic - aero skirts are so much better with the matching bumper.

Agreed skirts look good by themselves on roadster because it runs parallel when the top is down. But on the coupe it needs the aero bumper to complete it.

I think I was one of the first members to have the full aero kit on a coupe. Here’s a rear shot with diffuser and lip (all BMW original).

Sold the car to a good friend of mine. After 10 years I was ready for something “new” though I never really ventured far. This is my coupe’s replacement... little biased but I think the roadster with hard top looks the best, followed by coupe and then roadster with top down.

From the Mk V onwards, some Spitfires had their rounded elliptical wingtips "clipped" outboard of the ailerons, effectively removing 4 feet of wingspan. The shorter, squared-off tips improved low-altitude performance and enhanced the roll rate hugely, one area where the Mk V fell badly behind the rival Focke Wulf Fw 190

Despite loving the Spitfire since childhood, I’ve never heard that before. They look really weird!

Supermarine Spitfire LF Mk.XVIE
A bit of history of the actual aircraft is here: https://www.airforcemuseum.co.nz/aircra ... f-mk-xvie/
The fibreglass replica used to stand outside the Brevet Club on the approach to Christchurch airport. The Brevet Club was demolished and the Spitfire relocated to Spitfire Square, a shopping complex close to the airport.

150 glorious miles around North Wales today with my mate in his TTS. Loving living so close to such epic driving!
