That looks excellent! Nice work on all fronts. I especially like the engine cover. And the interior. And the lights. Ok all of it. :)

I painted my engine cover but it's not got a patch on that.

Flippin' 'eck mate.

U was mostly busy this month eh?!
Nice job - or rater Jobs.

The engine cover is a real nice touch - the tinted tail-lights look the business.

I really love the fact that you altered the surround in the center console rather than the "flat face" of it. Nice!

Cant wait to see this in the flesh..

ps. Sorry I haven't been able to free that steeringwheel boss for you yet..

Sprayed my dial surround and the plastic bit that surrounds the ashtray and gear shift cream to match the seats. I need the rings to complete the job. Drat.

thanks for the tip off! £40 for the set. They have a price check thing on their site to tell them if you can find the same product cheaper elsewhere, mentioned KMC and RB engineering had them for £24 and £29.99. will see if they get back.
