MotaLeira, almost there!
Got the nose back from the painter tonight. The photos show it loosley in place and with a replacement scuttle panel.
Apart from the bubble screens would fail sva, I'm having doubts about the vision through them.
I am thinking of putting two smaller bulges on the scuttle and I have been looking at all sorts of things on ebay!

how does the air suspension actually work? do you have a shock/air bag instead of a normal coilover? how does the compressor work?
i quite liked the idea of putting hydraulics on mine some time, but i don't know

First, using air suspension is not as good as Coilovers from the point of view that the shock settings are not adjustable.
I have shocks that were made by Arnott industries in Florida to my specified weight.
Airbags replace springs with pushfit plasic tubing and switches that direct/release air. A small 12v compressor provides fairly quick inflation and a
dual needle gauge shows you what circuit/pressure .
I may still have to shorten my pushrods as there is an optimum height/pressure that the air springs work at their best.
I aim to run the car at 3" and have clearance of 5" for speed bumps. The car will rest on the floor, so for safety, I have titanium skid
blocks on the chassis underside in case they fail.

I have the correct number of lights and I don't think that I will be trying the sparks thing out intentionally, but it may occur from time to
time!

Your car really is an incredible achievement. It looks such a polished professional product - I could imagine it selling well as a kit.
Any more nice comments from the idiots on the Ariel forum?

When I posted a pic with the nose on, a positive comment about the nose only, usual derogatory comments about the rest.
Who cares? I'm only 6-8 weeks from giving it a proper blast!
