You have done in a year what I’m planning to do in maybe 5!

That’s practically a new car!

Do the quilted carpet covers make a solid difference to noise and insulation?

We’re the bonnet struts tricky to fit?

What coolant tank did you go for?

:joy: I’m retired and have an obsessive personality. You should see my guitar builds/collection!

Quilted carpets - I haven’t noticed any difference with noise/insulation. Was more of an aesthetic thing as the carpets were tatty.

Struts - a doddle to fit (easier than the bloody radiator!)

Tank - Alloyworks off Ebay

Looks well , very good list of goodies :grin:

Just a thought… Smoked side repeaters ?

Thanks! My OG carpets are also tatty. And I’ve been looking at the alloyworks tank.

Agreed. Good shout.

Can I ask what seat covers you got and are they any good? I’m not a fan of leather seats but having been quoted £300 per seat to have them re trimmed in cloth i am considering covers.

I’ll try and remember where I got them and let you know.

What was the carplay unit like to fit mate? I’ve been wanting to do that for a while now.:+1:

13

Quite straight-forward with the right fitting kit/wiring kit.

14

Which make/type of rear parking sensors did you fit?
A mid I want to do with the card limited rear vision.
Thanks
Pete

Just a cheap kit from Amazon. Work a treat. Only hard part is feeding the cable for the buzzer from the boot in to the cockpit!
