Loving your work there John, bet your itching to get it on the road now....

You'll need an extra bit of foam under the covers on those seats (just on the ar5e) - trust me. I used 1" thick sunbed type foam, worked a treat.

Great looking project, i'd have loved to have done a minus, v jealous! What rear arches are you using? i've bought two sets so far to try & get some wide enough to fit my race spec kit, i'm out a fortune & still no closer to a solution. My wheels protrude about 5 1/2" are yours similar?

HI adam my archs were made for me they 100% carbon fibre, when i got them they were approx 8inches wide i had to trim them to fit, then send them back to be finished off. And they are not cheap to have done. As for my wheels says theey stick out approx 5-6inches
