Cheers for the comments,
All i have done since last time is put half the front cage in and realised that the front door card won't go in,
Safety Devises have said they will not do anything to try and sort this so i am now going for carbon fibre door cards

Will get some more pics up as soon as i get some time to do some work on it.

I know what ya mean, i just want it to look tidy on the underside.
Going to clean it all up then stonechip and waxoyl, thats why i was not bothered about overspray as i was going to do it anyway, once that is done i can put the body kit back on.


Cheers Tony i notice yours is coming along nicely aswell, also Damo has sorted me some tape out to put my arches back on so i have got to keep an eye on yours so i know how to do mine.

I am now keeping the standard ones as i have got safety devices to alter/put the cage right. Been 3 weeks now, and still waiting for me car back

Was going to just get a sheet of carbon and cut it to size.
Scotty at A1 Rally Sport was going to sort it, but i no longer need it.

Snap Strap is what you use to fix the heat wrap down with


Gav - Very nice lot of new bits there. People like us keep places in business. Is that a GGR cone and trumpet? Reason I ask is Damo has one of them

No news from SD then?
