Two window's options is awesome indeed! Very rare for a kit to offer tint, and clear. We're usually left to tint our own!

Recommendation. If your going to paint it a dark, color, use the clear window's. If your going to paint it a bright or even a medium color, use the tinted windows. Dark tinted windows on a dark colored car will look too dark and toy-like. While it look's cool on the real car to have a black car with dark windows, it does NOT work in scale. I'd also ditch those wheels and try and find something better. ;)

im with fuji on this one

also (and this is totally of topic) ive been planning on getting a roll of window tint (maybe 20 % ) so i can shade my own windows, cos those look WAY to dark, im sure ill see you on wegmisbruikers with that tint

have you thought of building a trailer with a boat for this one ?

because those rims would make an awesome boat anchor :)

just out of curiosity, what part of the netherlands are you from ?

Nice work so far! Does the springs for the suspension do any work, "compress-rebound" or are they just there for appearance? I've been wanting to do one of these Estima's and try my hands at chopping the top and lowering the roof line by a mm or two.

I've even seen a real one done as a convertible and totally decked out in a racing theme!

zeerikzee would have sufficied

i spend many a summer there as a boy

all of zeeland to be honoust but zeerikzee and scharendijke had a special place in my parents hearts

they were both avid divers and my dad is a 3 star instructor with the Nederlandse Onderwatersport Bond to this very day

i was born in a tiny little hole in the ground called nijnsel (kerkdork van st oedenrode) and grew up in a mcuh larger hole in the ground called volkel

thats right, by the airforce base

both of which are in noord brabant by the way :D

i think i even took my wife over to zeerikzee once while we were still dating ;)

that is a mini van on steroids!!!

i agree with everybody that says you should change the wheels

maybe some pegasus 24's big wheels would look really good on that

can't wait to see how this build will come out

keep it up :blink:
