Looks like a hell of a lot of metal work in the back there Beardy, but immensely neat.
Did they use jigsaw etc, or a plasma cutter, and do you think it would be possible to do it without needing a respray?
Btw, are the rear turrets scratch made on the car, or are they from a kit?
Edit: Incidentally, what does it turn in like? i.e. has the reduced nose weight resulted in understeer during flat out cornering.

glad everyone like it 
as for cutting the back end out they use plasma cutters and angle grinders.
rear turrets are made for scratch and down to spec.
do not know how it is at high speed turning as yet, will find out on the track day 
noone fancy coming?
