Hi Paul,

Wheels, well it depends on what you want to do... and how big you want to go...!!!

Body styling, I do like the rear arches on that kit, they kind of suit the car well and the bonnet is deffinitely different.

My seats were done in Vinyl and cost me £175 with no vat from a small place near me

Dont they make your erm.....back sweat?


(the seats, not the flared arches!!)

To be honest, their not too bad unless you leave the roof down on a hot day...:eek:

Then it's a case of how much material can you put between you and the seat so that you can sit down without roasting...:p

I'm thinking of having them re-done again (possibly leather this time) sometime in the future, probably with the colours reversed unless I can come up with some other design...

The vinyl is wearing slightly in a couple of places but then what do I expect when I'm using the car almost every day for the last 2 years...

Adrian.

Finally found the post, sorry it took so long. The wrecker is moving along well, so if you need any bits give us a shout. Engine may have already been sold though. You can get all the BYS stuff organized at the same time maybe. I'm looking at some seat covers for my own special secret project this year, ready for next years MTB. So if anything reasonable turns up let's know, I am considering taking the spare set of originals I now have down to a local and see what they can do for me, before exploring options. Honda Senba make a leather set, all colors of the rainbow, and last time I asked at the MTB they were 46000 for the set, that's what 230GBP. There is a guy in my club that has a spare genuine bonnet, he would give it to you for next to nothing, if you wanna pay for it to be shipped, its just collecting dust since he switched to the BYS one.

Cheers OZ

Here you go, some pics of the not so beastly beat.

Oz, thanks for tracking down the center caps, but I can't get them to fit, they are a bit too big for the center hole. any ideas? I know they have varnished the wheels, but even so, its quite a difference.

The hood is looking good now with the silver screws, and its completely leak free!

just got a quote for the respray......£1100!!!

My pain guy has quoted me 1200 euro, about 800 pounds i suppose for a respray but I have given him a fair bit of business over the last few years! Not on the Beat though!
