is it on the road ?

The reverse light would finish the back off well tom ,reverse light + tan seats = retro awsomeness =] .
Think you should mount it to the right & 2-3 inch down abit on the last picture.


agreed !

Cars looking cracking Tom, how come you've put the seats in so soon ? Would it not be easier to keep them out until a later date ?

Ha ha yeah going up to minisport monday so i'll be able (hopefully) to get going with mine.
Would you prefer the top area to be filed down so as only the side are showing or keep it as is so it blends in a bit better ?
Just got to file flat the edges & sand then its all yours bud.
