The car looks good...

I bet that gear stick is cold in this weather!

At least the half leather one has warm points on it!!

BTW the carbon still looks good IMHO.

oooh, looks like the tarty one has lost his crown! You get my vote as it's a old spec car, and so is mine.

what are the wheels? Team Dynamics I think (obvious really as you're TSL ) but what size are they?

Rihbay... .... very easy mate...... i got the staaaaaff to do it! ... some bits are easier than others as i understand it. If you would like someone to talk you through what to undo and in which order, please feel free to ring and chat to one of the workshop team,


Paint wise... this is a real ball ache as your interior will have years of silicone cleaners and shiners on the vents which has to be scrubbed and cleaned over and over to ensure it's all gone befor painting. Any good bodyshop should be able to properly plastic prime and paint the pieces for you

hope this helps

Cheers

trouser, have a look at my car pics here -

You should see a strange bi-planed rear spoiler.

The back edges of which go right down the bootlid to the rear light clusters almost!

Wicked dude, that spoiler is a million times better than that other piece 'o dung you dragged around, sets the car off a treat.

Have you done all the paint jobs (externally) that you wanted to and rolled the arches so you can keep up at meets

A job well done sir, you have exhibited a flare for style (to rival the mighty Mr Tang ) and converted a tired looking old bucket into the stunning scoob it now is

Any stickers to go on?

Nice one! Almost makes me wish I'd had my braided hoses fitted on Thursday rather than Wednesday 'cos then I could have seen it in the flesh.
By the way, the difference in brake feel is marvellous, now the snow is melting enough for me to try them out - good job done by TSL once again
