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.

The rover inlet, which I was worried was going to hit the servo, but looks as though its going to be fine



fitted



the airfilter

Ive been after some second hand coilovers for ages, but none ever seem to come up on ebay or here. PM me if you know of any for sale

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!

bit of an odd question but what is that you used to cover your welds in the pas footwell before it was painted?

as im in the process of spraying my floor and wanted cover my welds with something before i paint but i can only think of spreading seam sealer,
