Very nice, some real tidy touches on there - the clips for the bumper are a great idea

I have a real camera if you'll pay the air fare

Cars have this to run horn electrics and so on rather than using the existing electric in the clock spring. The coil means that it will curl around the steering column when the wheel turns through more than 180 degrees without stretching or breaking the wire

It's very race/rally car-esque

It's looking good Marty and I still agree with Martin, but I know you don't want to. Any reason for not doing the fuse box cover

I was toying with plasti-dipping the glovebox etc, but that suede would match my roof-lining and door cards...

That would look good Jon, I would also consider plasti coating the pillars to match in with the rest of the bits you have done.

There's a couple of vent at the bottom of the wings behind the bumper iirc, plus 2 vents in the parcel shelf. If you do a search you'll also find lots of threads about leaking lights and spoilers and my boot seal is far from water tight too

tried the spoiler and lights but not leaking there. I know if I park on a hill facing down the boot seal leaks in the drivers side corner, but most of the is the level but I still get a lot of condensation and smells really fusty/damp. Just running out of ideas

I park nose up the drive after finding the passenger footwell full of water after a storm

If I don't use the car for long periods I have put one of these in there before now...

Unless it's left for a while I don't get any problems these days
