| I wish I could adopt that attitude, every time I get an old car I end up spending a fortune making it look nice, then its not an old car I dont worry about any more...

| Dont get me wrong brian i love having stuff looking mint, but this is just a hackabout to get me into trackdays and sprinting and to be honest im doing farmore to it than i intended, if it goes well and i enjoy it ill build a proper car.
Yes Dave its flocked, quite pleased with how it looks   | |

| Just a quick question though, How come you did not get the air vents Flocked to match? (I dont mean the vents themselves but the surounding plastic that holds the light switches for example.) | |

| flocking is quite thick and it would have been very hard to flock them without filling the switch area with it.. and this stuff is very tuff so cleaning it out would have been a bastard.
I was waiting for someone to ask that lol | |

| Looks like Rolf Harris has done a good job on the rear part of the cage mate.
