Looking good fella,not everything to my taste but I can see where your going..I think 99 percent of the forum agree that the carbon look on the back of the buckets is the nuts and looks classy..
I am looking to lower my saloon.as the back is defo to high IMO..but I don't want to compromise on driving comfort..

Where can you get carbon for the seats?

2 options as far as I can tell. Either just get a carbon wrap and stick it to the back of the seats. This is probably plenty cheaper and any vinyl car wrappers could do it or you could attempt it yourslef. The other option is to actually make a carbon skin over the back of the seats suing real carbon. Much harder and cost a lot more. Any of the usual carbon manufacturers should be able to do this... but at a price! Or you could atempt it yourself. Teutonic Tuner did his himself and wrote a thread about doing it:

I only have prices given to me by my brother in law so are family rates. not sure how much discount this is but guessing you need to add about 20%. Also, trying to read his handwriting is not easy so M1P9 could actually be MIP9.

Cheers for that Mike, will see what local stealer parts cost them up.

tony, looking at my list it says -15% on the page so I'm guessing thats the discount on the prices above.

It's good isn't it? Sounds better in real ife though. I described it as a cross between a C63 and a NASCAR.

[Trups]

That does sound good.

I work over in hinkley Mike, PM me and maybe we could have a mini meet?

Sounds good, Hinckley is quite close to me but I work in london so by the time I get home you will probably be gone, and I also have to get the kids to bed etc as my wife normally works later than me, so midweek is no good for me. Do you work weekends?

[Trups]

Mike, i work earlies and lates, latest i work untill it 10pm but would that be too late to hoon around?

i do work weekends, i am off for the rest of the week but working Sat, i have a customer over at 3pm so don think i can do that day as it takes me 50mins roughly to get back but could sort out in a few weeks maybe before i go on holiday next month.

could also sort these errors for you on the Car.

Ok, strictly speaking this one is not a mod, but it's still going in here anyway.

Got a new (alcantara I think) service book and owners manual wallet:






It's lovely quality and much nicer than the standard one. If nothing else at least it's different!
