Nice work.
However, as what I said before, you may have to adjust the upper suspenion in order to retrieve a better angle for the front wheel.

By the way, I think you have used a wrong size JPS decal. The one you have used is for the rear wing

Looks great, definitely the center-piece of a collection!! I'm always impressed when you guys can get such a nice finish with black paint, I always end up peppering it with foreign material (i.e.: dust and dirt).
Nice work, looking forward to seeing it completed.
Cheers,
Chris

The may be some color problem on thr Barge Board. According to the manual from MFH, we are told to paint it with BLACK. However, the barge board for the 97T should be in CF pattern and its top portion was painted with black. You may want to take a look.

For adjust the angle of the front wheel, you just need to shorten the upper suspension arms.

Good Luck

I had the same problem with the upper suspension arms. They need to be shorter. One of the few bad fits. The worst fit (for me) was the turbo charger.
