The only problem with fitting some of that to mine would be I see twice the muck and gunge than I normally would.

On yours though Cliff, stunning!

Right then Cliff, only one thing for it

I prefer the sound deadening material on mine, a stereo engine bay doesn't do anything for me. I like the sound of silence from my engines these days, I've done the big pipes and noise in my youth, I love the power without the howl these days.

I agree

. The mirrors are just for when parked up at shows (fat chance at the 'mo). They're held in place with extra strong Velcro so are quick and easy to put on/take off. Sound proofing is back in place now, and mirrors are headed for storage in the attic 'till the next National - next year I guess!

Hi Cliff, quick question. Is the trim for the mirrors the same size one you can use around the edge of the slam panel and other under bonnet edge? Also around the seat belt opening on the sliding pillar section? I've seen it done but not sure on the size!

I'm the same. Just hope my car is road ready by then.

Pretty sure it's the same stuff. Can't remember the size I got for the slam panel etc, but it looks the same so should be fine.

Brilliant. I got a bit fed up today, and after hooking the battery maintainer up Mark got me I started wire-wooling some bits under there, and then thought about the trim! I need to have a rough measure how much to get now. Thank you very much!
