I fancied something a little different,(and couldnt justify the cost of a carbon one) and I might advertise my Central Heating company on the bonnet for a bit of free advertising too.........

Cheers guys, Im really happy how its turning out now! The dash is a Saph one and was a absolute bargain, I bought the dash from Lo@der of here.

Roosie, Ive not got any pics with out the front bumper, but when im next in the garage i'll take a couple with the bumper off.

Its nearly done then MOT and Tax time then, bring on Lydden!
