Depends its bloody cold your way in winter and having it stripped might put you off using it.

take a look at the motordrive website, they do a very bling internal carbon gearbox tunnel cover and all the other bits as well - reasonable prices too

Strip it and get the cage finished as well!!! It will look half arsed otherwise coz the big diagonals are missing as are the door bars by the look of it!

BUT only even the car is a fun toy... if you wanna use it as a proper car or do any kinda mileage in it, leave it well alone
