Nice setup Karan and like Vasanth said you are really lucky to have a that beautiful natural carpet.
That black SLR looks so awesome in the pics that I had to go and check mine which I had not touched in ages.

Hi there! i have the same car (well 2 of them) and fixing the front suspension is quite easy, you just need to remove the base of the car to not scratch the paint during the process , then reduce the height of the wider radious stub with a cutting knife or a dremel, you need a patience and be carefull, cut it to the point you need it and if you went too much just fix it with a bit of putty or silicone.
If you need any help just tell me.

The Diablo SV is one of my favorite cars along with the F40 and the Mclaren F1, i have modified my silver Welly to improve it quite much, now im improving the interior and the brake disks adding calipers.
Its funny that both the Welly and the Autoart use the same mold for the car.

Paladin, welcome to the forum....why don't you tell us a bit about yourself in the "introduce yourself" thread. Nice looking collection you got there, love the F40 and the Mclaren, what make are they? Nice job with the SV, hard to believe it's the Welly version, you got the stance bang on now with the little operation, I'll try my hand on mine when I get the time.

Thanks for the welcome, as funny as it sounds i just realised its an Indian forum, im quite far, im from Chile Smile

, was looking for few pictures of the Autoart Diablo SV and found this thread and wanted to help you to fix it.
The F40 is a Kyosho (great model!) and the Mclaren F1 LM is from UT models (good model, just need brake calipers).
Il post my collection soon.

You were looking for Autoart Diablo SV on some diecast forums, so you landed upon SMC. Then you stumbled across my dilemma and since you had the solution, you took the pain of joining up and posting a remedy for it. Hell, I don't give a damn from which country you are man, guys like you ooze with enthusiasm and passion for this insane hobby. Welcome again to SMC brother and enjoy your stay.

The Kyosho F40 is a major blast.....one of our members gtmaniac recently got the F40 light-weight version. Paladin, please do post detailed pics of both the F40 and the McLaren. And oh, looking forward also to the rest of your collection.

Hey Pladin Tongue

Welcome here. Thats kinda nice of ya to register n share how to fix the Welly Diablo.
I'm gonna try that soon.

The black diablo looks brilliant. Did u do away with the "SV" lettering with non- acetone nail polish remover? It looks kinda cool Tongue
