Here are some pictures of my Riot SE build so far. They're a couple of weeks old. I will try and get some more over the weekend (hopefully it should be nearly complete after that !).

Looks really nice, great colour scheme, keep up the good work

Looking good.
A couple of small points - front brake flexies look a bit tight - do they turn OK?
Also ensure the speedo has all the numbers visible to the driver. Mr IVA failed mine because he couldn't see 80 & 90 (big guy as well so he sat higher than me!). Angled it towards the driver on re-test and he was happy.
Keep the pics coming.
Cheers, Pewe

Thanks for the points. I will check the speedo numbers, not a problem to swap with the tacho. The flexi pipes were supplied by Sylva as part of the kit. They're ok though.

More concerning to me is how much more do they tighten at full suspension travel? Aeroquip hose will fail quickly if you concentrate any bending where the flexible pipe enters the unions.

Car is looking very nice though.

Like it I'm a sucker for the classic Lotus Green with red dash

If I ever built another kit (which I won't), the Riot would be on the list.
