Haha, nice and subtle isn't it!
Don't think I'll be doing that, but a hydro clutch and 6 speed 'box would make a HDi much better imo lol.

Haha it's not as bad as you may think. When I eventually get a pedal box it will become redundant anyway.

The black trims? I'm toying with doing them gloss black, but in two minds

Cheers dude
Things to bear in mind with the arches, they have that weir dimpled texture that most plastics have, so you would need to get serious with the sand paper, and/or filler/filler primer to smooth them off.
I'm not going to bother as, all being well, I would like to wide arch the rear of this over winter

Thats longer than I would have stuck at it, fair play!
Beauty of it is; you can screw them to the lip inside the arch, so if you don't like it, you can easily take them off and nobody would be the any-the-wiser

Sam, the car is parked outside my house. You have seen it.
It's been like that since about a week of owning it, due to the chronic lacquer peel underneath

It's one of those tripping major ball sack moments. It normally is a bit duller than that. Sadly.
On more exciting news, more shineys have been ordered and some arrived

Yeah that is very annoying. But in the grand scheme of things, those stalks will not be there

Probably selling it mate. No need for it anymore, and it's a bit big for a keyring
