Dont see the issue they are less than 10k cars now so very affordable to lots more people now. Least Graham is doing a very decent job and doing it properly!

i reckon graham has got a screw loose. too much night shift work sniffing those underground fumes

shame the cage won't be anthracite, but the new colour looks nice aswell. when the sun catches that, it'll look awesome

Not a fan of the stripped/fitted hybrid interior tbh, looked amazing when it was pretty much full interior and exterior mods

I understand its not to everyone's taste but mine & my passengers safety is more important now. They are not 50k cars anymore either so loads are heading this way

Not sure yet Dale not driven it enough to know, I bloody hope so!

Got the rear section in today. My god I forgot how much of a slag it was to line everything up. At least I know it's nice and rigid!

Can see the colour much better :-)

Colour looks fantastic!

Not sure why people are crying about the doorcards, not as if they're rare or that expensive. Im sure IF you ever want to put things back to standard you can.

Love this car and the fact that you properly use it.

Cheers guys :-) got the rear section in today, its such hard work fitting on your own due to needing to pull things into place and how tight it all is. Which is a good thing for rigidity but not fitting!!

It would be alot of work but yeah if you really wanted too I guess you could! And Doorcards are worth about £40 each, not worth worrying about tbh.

To be fair I am a bit disappointed about having to lose the door pocket but there's nothing I could have done unless he moved the cage further into the car but then it wouldn't be FIA spec. The speaker annoys me more but I'm trying to find a slimmer speaker to fit in them it won't hit the cage.

No mate I did look into them but there's not much difference in terms of door pocket width so they'd still need cut, and they're silly money!

Forgot to update this

Cage is all in now, put padding on but I need more than I thought so waiting for it to come through the post. Still a couple of bits of trim to put on and waiting for a clip for the handbrake from BMW but mostly there, very happy with it :-)

That padding looks chunky enough to be more comfy than your seat lol
Looks good bet it adds a fair load of weight

All done







A job I'd been meaning to do for ages was remove the sound deadening on the bonnet





Whether it makes any difference, who knows!

Some pics all cleaned up, I will get the SLR out soon for some decent ones

a customer of mine has a cslair box, removed his sound deadening to let the noise out more, it does work, now he wants me to put E92 vents in the bonnet to make it even louder

Bet that would sound the bollocks! Would be easier just to get a GTR bonnet?
