Hi..Oz love those seats are they from moss or an upholsterar............and as for the finish of that rear end loverly................

One of our customer did the seats for me she does a lovely job and matched not only the colour but also the pattern of the front seats.

hiya oz just seen your reply, yeh im good ta thanks for asking.. well i must say the moss s/c sounds very interesting and looks great. so you say it will just bolt on? does compression ratio not play a big factor or have you got those yanks to overcome that? just i thought to run a charger at about 10psi you'd have to have a compression ratio of about 8.5 to 1 or even lower? and i imagine its a lot higher than that with the miglia head! so im intreagued, can you say how much of a power increase it now has with the charger? sorry about all the questions!! lol

All in the pistons on my engine! Like I said we can't use my engine spec to compare! The standard engine kit will make about 5 to 5.5 psi but there's a safety valve fitted that open if to much boost is made but not used! also the throttle is via an actuator on the chargers body so the internal butterfly is on demand rather than all on when you hit the gas, it's all very clever and designed to be a safe as possible. I will have more info when the Mini specific kit is back for me to test and at present it's all looking really good.

I've never really understood the idea of a CF parcel shelf. I suppose its generally just for looks, or have you cut out most of the original parcel shelf and bonded it on?

I did cut out all the steel parcel shelf...but your dead right I wanted the look more than any thing matches the roof, dash, arches and the console

Did you weight out the Steel panel, and weigh in the CF panel, to see how much weight you've saved?!
