stunning car and one im ultimately very jealous of and would love to own, however I do not like the seat, all the other mods had a factory fitted feel to them they were that good.. you had to look twice or even three times to notice the difference... spent a lot of time looking at this car @ ford fair

The seat just stands out excessively for me and detracts from the rest of the car

Forget the seats, just spend ten minutes looking round the car and see if you can spot all the detail touches .

Luckily I had my own personal guide, as I missed a few, but for your delectation:

1. BMW Z4 bonnet hinges and lifters.
2. Granada Scorpio self dipping rear view mirror.
3. BMW rear diffuser.
4. Current spec VW windscreen wipers.
5. VW Polo rear number plate lights inset into bumper.
6. Door handles!
7. Wing mirrors (already pointed out).
8. BMW aftermarket gearstick with shift pattern lighting up when lights are switched on.
9. Rear brake light fitted into rear spoiler.

Without doubt, the absolute best RS Turbo out there .

Car is amazingly well modded... Most things look factory

IMO the seat is excellent, but i would have gone for something like a Recaro Apex or Pole Position, without the big side hoopy bits
And had two of them, matching. Two of the Corbeau seats would just fill the car up though, with the afore mentioned big side hoopy bits!

Top Car!

Probably my fav RST!

The reasoning for only 1 seat mate was that David still wants to carry rear passengers! Also for cost! Which you can't blame him for!

I wasn't keen on it but after seeing it in the flesh yesterday it's growing on me!

It looks a lot better in the flesh Mart. Warren's got the same seat trimmed in leather.

Both cars looked aswesome yesterday & a credit to both owners

I did notice some Sagging on it too Paul but probably can't be helped on Dave's seat!?

Didn't notice Warren's seat though! Although I did have a look at the car!

Did you get any pics of Warren's Escos Paul?

Thanks for all the comments Corbeau did the retrim for me,dont think the sagging bits can be helped as they just use their normal bucket seat patterns which just hook over the side of the seat and use a draw string

I have these seats also and the covers are a right arse to get right...

Looks stunning though the car and the seats as all other mods, well your just showing off now - surely you need to open your own styling company, you cant fault a thing with your car

Saw this car and spoke to dave at NATIONAL DAY.

If you think these mods are cool you should here what he,s got planned for it next.

Won,t spoil the surprise but this man,s thinking and ideas are well out side the box.

Having looked around it i noticed about 15 little touches that i never new were there.
