Thanks for the leather interior man, going to scrub it up and make it look factory fresh over the next few weeks! Out of interest, you're massive front arches got me thinking about a carbon fibre replacement from Seibon Carbon;

http://seiboncarbon.co.uk/products.html?make=198 (second row down)

Just think if you're going for stripped interior, to keep the balance a set of carbon arches and bonnet should loose a few kilos off the front end as well and tame understeer?

I'd probably have a carbon bonnet and tailgate but I'd be happy just getting it back now

I'm not sure to be honest, I think Alex is too busy but I did book my car in February, took it April and still waiting. I'm hoping it'll be back for August as he's got another in for 4wd so I hope he won't start another one without finishing mine.

I'll race you to see who can get their car sorted first.

Your 4wd system vs. My new leather interior

It's all wired in and working to a point. Needs a whole new rear diff and haldex though. Looks like it had been sat outside for a while and killed some of the internals.

Had the rear wheels spinning though.

Just waiting on a new diff from Craig and I can carry on with it.

Turned the stereo down and opened the window when you were behind me yesterday so I could hear it. Sounds awesome. How does it go?
