I did get my inlet back of alan after he spent ages cleaning it up (thanks mate)
Wacked that on for now, also got my airfilter of my dad for christmas heh group A cos k&n.

Al you can have first drive for all the help you have given mate!
Steve the buckets seem pretty comfey, not that ive driven with them yet hehe
View through the side of the seat seems good aswell, so shouldnt be a problem on the road!
That shifter is easy to fit herman, litrally about 4 bolts to drop the linkage down, and fit the new pieces in, gear change feels soo much better than standard!
