I mis-read that. For a moment I thought you said everything was apart now for paint...

The jury is out on wether the “eyebrows” on the lower front panel were painted Matt black from the factory or not but I prefer it that way.

Winter upgrades in preparation for next years fun and games. I’m going to need an ignition system with a few more features so out with the trusty FBO and in with a Daytona Sensors CD1 which should do everything I will ever need. First step is to make my usual drop down mounting panel. The ill fitting ashtray has always bugged me so I’m on with making a delete plate as you do…

Out of interest, what gauge ali do you use for panels like that and your dash speaker cover?

1.2mm I think that is. If its just a cover that bears no weight I use the really thin stuff B&Q sell.
