Ram Air Scoops ### £35 delivered

Any ideas when the next batch will be going ahead? Happy to wait, just want to get my name down on one!
 
I've got another set of 12 coming back from the powder coaters this week, so will offer them to the next 12 on the list. I will then cut another 25 and send them to be coated. Hopefully the powder coater will charge me the same price as before, it's a much lower price than all the other quotes I got.

The trade off for price is the time factor but still worth waiting I think as the finish is good and keeps the cost low!

You may have to bare with me as we've recently set up an additional business which is taking up a lot of time.
 
Oh and I'm distraught to say, I have sold my car, gutted but it had to be done. Honestly never thought I would!

The new side to the business, my cautious nature and growing kids means I've finally succumbed to the fact my z is not practical! If I could afford to keep it and buy another I would.

So she will go on Saturday and the new car will be here Friday. Feels like I imagine cheating on the missus would be like!!!

Anyway, if the new business does as well as it could, I will be back in an ///M, unless they rocket up in value!! Will still come on the forum and still make stuff etc and who knows, come back with another z!

I'm going to plastikote mine red, do I need to spray an undercoat on first or can I simply cover with a few coats of red top coat?

I'm no expert but I'm told the powder coat acts as an excellent primer so I would say just spray lots of thin coats over the top. Once its dry and in place it shouldn't get much wear, if any at all.
