cut a plywood template for the back of the rear seats and carbon wrapped it. looks 10000000x better, was rusty metal with toilet-seat shapes on the back

Like to carbon backs on the seats chap, i was going to something like that but now i have an alpine set up (check my thread) things are going to be different.

Bra's haven't been my thing (as they never seem to sit tight) but it looks good.

You leaving your liner standard then?

Good work all in all

cheers bud. they look like just squares but there's actually lots of little indents and that, so making the template took quite a while, wrapping it in carbon only took 10 mins :thumbup:

i know it is mate, got it for free from a gent called NexG who lives near me, seems a great guy. got a debadged grill to fit anyway. also the bonnet wont close properly with it on, anyone experienced this?

There's wee things at either side of the bay that can be tightened up a bit to allow more space. Then go mad and proper slam it shut. It took me about half an hour of attempting to shut it to finally get the balls to slam it hard enough.

went up to Glasgow, then to a caravan site near Loch Lomond, then across to Edinburgh, the down to Alnwick castle, not a bad holiday as i've never been to Scotland before. Must says it is a beautiful place.

Glad you enjoyed Scotland! There's definately an art to camping in a Lupo. At least you never had a 35k dog with you too.

What's happening to the Bathursts?

ah ye thanks Ray, its a nice place! i had to plan every little piece that went into the car, then my poor little sister got stuffed in the back surrounded by rucksacks and sleeping bags :yes: and i'll let you wait and see with the Bathursts, they won't be everyones cup of tea but they will definately be different! :tongueout:
