Last day in the old job few nights ago  :sad1:

I had fun. Driving was good :grin:. The Skoda Scout did well, very well.

↑ Wuh? I thrash mine a bit each time it rolls. I'd buy a old sedan if I didn't love it so...

That looks brilliant, how did you get the pattern to be that good of a fit?

A lot of trial and error and a few meters of cheap vinyl. The fit on the dash is tight but the carbon fibre vinyl is very pliable so it gives a bit. With the shifter trim it would be easier to apply with a heat gun then cut out the holes.

I'm not to keen on carbon fibre i tried bushed chrome but it was not sticky enough.

Received a few parcels the last couple of days...



Now I need to wait for a day off work with decent weather, could be waiting a while!

Fitted my new Michelin Pilot Super Sports  :jumpmove:

Had my gearbox oil replaced (car has done 70k miles so thought it would do some good). Gear change is smoother  :smiley:

And had a 4 wheel alignment setup
