Thanks for that. It's hard to see the result on the small LCD screen (Canon 350D)

I asked as it looks a little HDR.

Loving the seats never seen them before

Headlight's seem to stick out, are they covers?
I hope the car bra is only for this harsh winter weather and preventing stone chips from the grit.

Calm down, he's only passing an opinion.

Do they wear well as I am thinking about them to make my rear seats match my new prodrive front buckets

Disappoint? Far from it Looks good IMO.
It's different which tends to upset the purists

I had my reservations about the car bra but has a valid reason for being there

There is 2 styles, the buckets that are above and the airbag seats that I have. I believe the airbag ones where an option, but TBH the buckets are much better.

I'm adding some Sparco prodrive seats in the next few weeks provided the car passes its MOT

It's round with Fiestaboy tomorrow for a service and then I'm sorting an MOT. Once that is done I'll be sorting a couple of fitting parties round at mine, one to get the interior swapped over and one to get the front mount done. I need to sort with Rich how best to go about getting him to port the headers and then it'll be all but ready for the remap. You are more than welcome to swing by, or all going well it might be at the next meet

Mines due a service to. In no great rush as it's only done a few thousand since the last it's just periodically due

Might need to get in touch with him and tie it in with swinging past

Mine only does a couple of thousand a year, but it has been stood while I've been away

It's easier for him if you get the oils and stuff and then he only charges for labour. I can help with Halfords trade prices when you get some of the stuff, depends on what you prefer to use

ooh looks like i rattled some cages

i just commented because bockett said he'd never seen seats like the before - but they actually fairly common. the prodrive graphics work well though and i've been thinking of doing it to mine (i've got the same bucket seats)

The DV looks like a cheap ebay special, and the induction kit the same, it has the wire guaze of a powertec but looks too small. Nice looking car, but you might want to get the airbox and standard DV back unless you are sure it has been mapped for them

Dont think it has been mapped but it is running well with them on. Got the original parts just not sure how easy they will be to put back on.
