I see what you mean, bound edges would have been the icing on the cake. Even so that is an outstanding job. Well done indeed! :thumbsup:

cheers guys!

Apart from the bulkhead piece & a little off the sill pieces I only had to cut a hole for the gearstick & a few little snips & slices here & there.

I just used my old underlay & carpet for a template. And just took my time.

I spent bloody ages trying to relocate the holes that the belts & seat mount bolted back into!

got some serious carpet burns on my knees & elbows aswell! lol

Yeah looks good to me mate! I've got a carpet to fit in mine although it's only the £35 plain black one from Minispares! Car's gonna be used mainly on the track so theres no underlay or anything - reckon it's gonna be a right rattle can lol!

Just a point i'm surprised nobody else picked up on... im a little worried that you have the word "off" and an arrow telling you which way to turn the ignition key :owned:

Matt.
