Fuck me you actually fitted the electric windows at last

Looking lovely though mate, it really is. Reckon it needs the higher spec centre console in it though.

What dials did you use? As I've heard if you chuck Zetec ones in the rev counter reads all over the shop?

This is the best pic I've got of one...



Dials thing is funny. I put carb clocks in a 1.4 loomed car once and the speedo was fine, but the rev counter was miles out.

I wonder if they did any SEFI 1.4s with rev counters!

think i read somewhere that they will fail it because if you hit a pedestrian they could cut there legs open, but like you say will only take a min to pull them off if needed, but they look cool as fuck so hope you dont have to.
