Robin - fantastic work! Seats and trim look amazing, the trim at least is going on my mod list, very near the top too. And if you're doing it for looks, this vinyl now kind of negates the need for carbon exterior bits. It must be cheaper to wrap wing mirrors, front grill surrounds, splitters, etc in this stuff than buy what are often only carbon skinned GRP bits anyway? I really love the seats though, they look excellent. Hope to one day see it all in the flesh.

Also good to know Raccoon are pretty local - I delivered prestiege cars for a while and worked out of a base in Botley so know the area well. Some awesome roads around that neck-of-the-woods - I was taught to drive around there which helped. Was on and around the A32 just the other day in an R8 V10  :happy2:
Only 250.1bhp - but with that noise, who cares?

....I'm particularly pleased with the trim because it works so well with the other plastics etc that it looks totally OEM and it's subtley decorative. The seats are extremely comfy and supportive.

I worked out of the industrial estate next to the station... Robin's suggested route to Raccoon (B3354 - Winchester Rd) was my rat-run up to the M3. Some great driving roads around there when it's quiet and with the right car - I did smash up a Touareg in Curdridge though (wasn't my fault I hasten to add...)

Looking quite RS4 (less gloss though) now RR, I like it a lot.  :happy2:
