Only idea's i really had from you was the powder coating and loosing some of the loom

I only asked for the boot to be painted but the lad said he mixed up too much so went over the rest

Not had the engine bay done as i was only done about 9 months ago, just needs a good polish

Will pm you the price

Damo
Spoke to the bodyshop
He said i could use stickaflex but its hard to get the kit off again
Said he uses 3M double sided tape, costs about Ł15-Ł20 a roll, been round everywhere by me to get it but i can't find it, if ya see any at the paint place you use let me know so i can order some as his supplier is out

Gonna underseal all the under side of the car before i put the arches back on as to not cover them with it.

What cage is that, Gav?

Greys, actually but same bhp as blues. That rim - well, there was this kerb and it just lept out infront of me doing about 50mph. Hard bastid wheels those MO's
You must have some patience, starting from scratch - top marks, mate. Is the engine at Scotty's? Might have a nosey, see if it is SUPER special

Keep goin'

How do you rate the cage for quality? And how hard is it to fit?
Think I'm getting one, too.
I guess its the 6-point jobbie?

The quality is pretty good to be honest, but it would have been nice if the front cage went through the dash rather than in front of it.
It fits well easy if you don't want the trim in, but with the trim its a bit of a nightmare.
Mine is the 6 point i think, i you aren't bothered about having the trim in speak to Scotty as the one that he had in his track day car was better than this one in my opinion.

what does "trim" entail??? Door cards, stereo compartment?
I'm having the back seats out anyway, but didn't want to go too minimal.

Trim is the rear 1/4 cards and roof lining etc, it can be done but it takes time.
