In a few weeks all the fronts coming apart,the suspension is to be powder coated,to match the rear,the engine bay is going mega smooth,more loom hidden,painting bay and smoothing chassis legs etc,gearbox is getting painted and laquered,after that who knows,im sure i will find something,but it will all be subtle,not ott,even toying with hiding the fuse box and header tank
Thanks for your comments.

Just a small update,spoke with the dash flock company yesterday,wanted to find out how i should leave the dash for them,they said it would have to be all one colour for better coverage,pref matt black,so i have now got the dash into a high build primer,this i will sand down in a few days and spray black.
I also filled in this mould line on top of the dash

Thought I was up to date on this thread Just went through all of the last page as I had missed that

Quick question mate, I guess the polybushes are deflex items? Mine I have ordered are the same, but in the pic, what are the long thin looking things? Don't think I got these in my full kit, did you order these especially?

Keep up the amazing work

It might be a bit to late for suggestions but when looking at this pic i just thought shame he didn't make a baby version of the gaugecluster surround.

This would make it more oem like and make a nicer whole.
On the practical side of things having a bit af fibergalass extended over the sides like with a gauge cluster for protection of the sun

Good luck
