Yes we do with the new boot design and just so happens there is a nice lightweight piece of carbon in my garage that will fit nice!

Plan is to make fixed section to fit around the new RAC roll bar then have an opening section so Lee can still get to his packed lunch and teddy bears.

Not bad work given I was in Chicago this time last night!!!

Watch this space for big updates!

I had to leave before it was all bolted up... and the mounts fitted! but it is now!!!

THANKS STU!!! YOU ARE A PROPER LEGEND!!! IT WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN MATE

Total labour cost for this build so far...AND ITS BEEN ALOT OF HOURS!!! most that you cant see, little bits that needed doing and designing etc etc...

Ł0.00

which is good because we have gone slightly over budget on the mecahnical bits

Plan was JUST some greens and a 3 bar. THAT was it.... oooops!

Yes, very trick. Its the first of a new development batch. Forget Mike Rainbum and his "Crackle Effect".....that so 80's like his hairstyle.

The new look is "WRC Blue Bath Towel"
