The interior is totally stripped out as im fitting a new roll cage, one which runs down the A pillar and behind the dash so it eliminates the blind spot that the old cage gave.

Bought a flocked dash also as the corners need to be cut to fit the new cage and I think they look the nuts!

Gone down the forced air induction route! bought this kit of Ronnie Amis on here.
Made a heat shield because it sits close to the rad and I had no more room due to the dump valve take off.

Cheers Chris, its a shame I couldn't put the filter further forward so it sat an top of the intercooler instead of the rad! The dump valve take off was in the way! Should still give plenty of air flow through the grille though.
