I noticed that the battery in the battery tray isn’t your regular size is this a lithium ion one or something else?

Its a race battery made by
LiteBlox.de. Stock battery is about 16kg, this weighs 1.2kg! In theory it should be fine for a daily used vehicle or in my case, one that is on trickle charge all the time its not being used. It should last for about a month without any charge but at the show it started beeping to let us know it was getting low on charge and the only thing that was on were the LED lights in the back. I believe there is a smartphone app where you can monitor the status a bit more closely. Probably going to need a split charge dual battery setup so the air ride can at least be operated - would be a pain being stuck down - and some sort of external charging points in case its locked and we can't open the bonnet.

Lithium Iron Phosphate - yes, not ION! LiFePO4... but it is a type of lithium ion battery.
They're capable of really cranking out amps - I have a little 10 AH 36V one for my electric bike, and it would crank 25 amps easily up some of the hills around here! Pretty good life expectancy too.

Dan lovely build and hats off to you for the dedication and deep pockets "very jealous" ..
Can I ask what side skirts you have fitted? And do they require any modding?
I'm thinking of getting rid of my side bars

They are the Cross skirts and they are a direct fit. They are designed for the Cross kit so not sure what they would look like without the arches (there may be a flattened section where the arch meets the sill) but I know a mate of mine is going to attempt it so will have a better idea once he's sorted the parts. The part numbers thread has all the details of what you will need.
