Well theyre designed to be painted the same colour as the car but im going to leave my one black as is. I like the matte black plastic. I think it looks more OEM.
Quite pleased with how they have come out though

I'm hoping that once people have seen it fitted in my car it will generate some more interest. Thanks for taking an interest in it. I'll be sure to keep you posted and rest assured you'll have one of the first Classic fitment inserts I make available.
Top man - they look great

Made by Goodridge and other manufacturers. Available from Ben at Hel Performance or Alyn at AS Performance. Alyn is a main Goodridge distributor so id call him.

Not far mate, waiting on boost pipes and PAS pipes to come back from fab. Then the motor can be dropped in and the homeward run begins

Trying to work out the logo, not sure if it's a piston or stick man Frayz holding some books up.

Finished article looks great.

Lol, deffo a stick man Micky. No pistons here haha.

Pete, carbon would be nice. But it weighs virtually nothing as is. I bet a carbon one would actually be heavier. Carbon would be more expensive too.
We all know these things are expensive enough as is. Lol

Just read this start to finish, cracking . Glad you changed the way you have protected the loom, spiral wrap on its own is a bad idea as it traps oil dirt etc and then acts like grinding paste on the loom, see it all the time on aircraft which is good as it keeps me in a job.

Cheers Arch. I had actually planned to cover the siral wrap but it didn't even get that far before I didn't like it. Lol

Sometimes I end up doing jobs twice as I'm not happy with the first time around.

Yes guys, i have a que of people wanting the Classic fitment boxes. Im hoping to get some templates made this week. My models guy is on holiday this week so hopefully we can get a classic prototype made up the following week.
I dont think there will need to be much changes made from the newage one that we already have. But obviously i want it to be spot on.

So the answer is yes and i hope to have something to show you in the next couple of weeks.
Will that be okay?

Cheers Mag'

Okay guys, what are your thoughts.

Im looking at selling my single Recaro Pro Racer SPA signed by Marcus Gronholm.



And replacing both front seats with a pair of these. Prodrive edition Sparco's.



What would you do?
Im thinking Prodrive seats in Prodrive edition bugeye and more user friendly on the road. But my seat is quite rare, very expensive and signed personally by Marcus.

Cheers Frayz

Keeping it isnt really an option TBH mate, i would be selling one to fund the others you see.

Indeed Ian the car is a road car that will be taken to the track. Not the other way around.
So the Prodrives will be more user friendly, less hardcore.
But its rare, autographed and crazy expensive. Thats why im crying about having to let it go.

Go with the seats that you think you will be happiest with, i like them both but i would sway towards the prodrives mainly because of practicality Frayz

I'm not sure if these are in line with your car's theme (tarmac rally car), but i'm saving up for a set or at least 1 for my Spec C.
