i like the outside of it now but i prefered how the interior looked back then.
stavs - the sparcos are in my brothers r5 gtt now and the backs have been sprayed in orange with grey checkers across them (they look mint!) and are soon to be retrimmed in orange and grey.
ive got a carpet going back in it now thanks to jacko. i like my new seats but i cant help but think the interior is going to be too dark so still really like the idea of buckets and carbon door cards lol

also your own personal touches to the engine will probably go down a storm rather than its style..

its just a std bonnet painted satin black. ive looked into carbon bonnets but due to the cost of them ive decided not to bother as the fit isnt perfect on them either. i may consider a carbon bonnet when the engine is complete and all up and running
