Still need to connect a couple of wires up on those lights!!! A pain in the butt they were!!!! That hole in the bottom for the wires to go thru!!!! Small than the connectors inside :( So I had to snip them off.. I have made the hole bigger now so all the wires can be removed with ease :) Also need to replace a bulb... Should be fully mobile come the weekend and will take some better pics.. Notice the 15" wheels Phil? Laced with a new set of R888's.. WOW Totally transformed the car..

Yes those lights are definitely fashion over form, utter nightmare to change the light bulbs but the car wouldn't be the same without them.

Agreed, 15's are the way to go. 17"s looked nice but a bit slippy due to rubber band sized tyres.

Would like to see the car again one day.

That looks triff, like the colour combination. One question though, how did you get it to stick to the wall in the last shot?lol ;D ;D

Nice one!! I always had a inkling towards filling the outer body indent shape thats inline with the seats with a contrasting colour, might look nice in that lovely orange?

Hey, your car though mate and it looks great. Good company advertising and showcase too 8)

I have already been thinking about getting some of the body done in the same wrap :)

WOW,,, I do like that... If I had a lift to enable two cars to fit in a single garage then I would be tempted :)

Ordered a new pair of seats this week :) Being made at Intatrim and should be ready to collect a week on Thursday :)
Thinking I may replace my current 4 point harnesses..

I think your belts are the same as mine but if your old seats are up for sale, I may be interested. Been doing odds 'n' sods on Ratbag this week. Didn't realise KGC are no more :(. They were always helpful for paint and stuff. Need to find someone to match some colour (2k)

Well today (at 6am) I headed up to Intatrim to collect my new seats :) Also ended up buying two pairs of runners (not required now!! ) and two large piece of carpet :)

Look loads more comfy than the current ones. Will try to get them fitted over the weekend along with the carpet.. :)

hahaha, Already have ICE!!! The sound of that Blade engine buzzing away at 12,000rpm when changing up :)  Do think I need replacement harnesses though.. Current ones look very tatty :)
