More than 50/50

While it’s true that most folks will only see you as you blur past them from 50 feet at more than 50 mph, a good number of people will look at your car up close in the pits.  Just because this is a dedicated race car doesn’t mean the small trim doesn’t matter.

The Challenge car uses almost all the same high-quality trim items as the Mk3 roadster. 

Windshield, Lighting, and Mirrors

The Challenge kit comes with a competition windscreen (the full framed chrome-on-brass windshield can be purchased as an option).  The kit comes with original British style lighting and fasteners.  These include the expensive LucasÔ twin filament red tail-lamps, amber turn signals, license plate light (some guys register their challenge cars!), and headlamps.  The original chrome “Bullet style” racing mirror comes in the kit along with the classic pedestal mount rear view mirror. 

Trim Accessories

Exterior trim includes the original chrome latches and handles (L-shaped for hood and T-handle for trunk all keyed alike), side louvers, front and rear quick-jack bumpers w/fasteners, and competition hood pins.  A high quality hood hinge is an option.

The three-point roll bar of the roadster is replaced by the welded full cage of the challenge chassis. 

Brakes/Wheels/Tires

The Roadster kit can use the proven brakes from the 87-04 Ford Mustang or any one of the many high quality Brake aftermarket suppliers.  We carry a complete line of aftermarket wheels, both modern and vintage in a variety of sizes to accommodate almost every conceivable combination of running gear.  Aluminum Halibrand-style replica wheels are especially popular.
