Default DEFI Install In Turbo Pod

Hi Guys

Few Updated Pics of the Cossie after I got it back from Martin, you can see the Turbo Pod has been changed and looks pretty good in my eyes.

You can see have changed a few items to the car, but the silly stripe is yet to come off, and the alloy fuel cap will need to be removed by my body shop as dad drilled the bolts in to the body

Give me your views and also any other ideas which could improve the look of the car.

its really starting to look the part now, only other things id personally change would be the colour coded ford badges [for standard ones] and id remove the carbon style dash kit,but its a very personal thing so looks good as it is anyway perhaps some carbon bumper blanks?

The insert was from the Graham Goode Range of Carbon, think that its vinyl made to look like carbon.

Would be good to have this pod in Carbon Fibre, think it would look the dogs doodleys, with the dash in alacantra.

Rad Man,

Mike Rainbird does the banana Pod Mod, works out to £55.00 which is cheap at half the price.

Gareth,
I also see you have good taste in gear knobs .

I tried a Monte one and switched back to the Momo item, as the feel wasn't anywhere as good as the Momo .
