Finished the cup interior

Cars been of the road for nearly 3 months now. But atleast the interior is coming together i think.

Made a ply floor and felted it to tidy up the rear, painted the cage to match the wheels, sorted out the shoddy fitment of the rear strut brace, lowered the bucket seats, repositioned the extinguisher, hidden the harness fixings under the new floor and added a cargo net.

Its still in the garage mate :o was going to go for yellow mirrors maybe when i had the whole yellow theme going on.

As for the felt its just black acoustic felt. I bought it in a local chav tuning shop so dont have a link :(

Strut brace will be staying red to match the front one and the extinguisher, imo to much white will just look tacky.

Its nice to see good feedback though :D
 
You have great taste Ecka, that is exactly what I would have done if I had a cup ;) lol
It does look awesome though :approve:

Cant be doing anything negetive! Cage is attached to the wheel wells and the brace mounts on the the top of the rear shocks obviasly. Less flex the better.


Not keen on attaching the harnesses to the cage, just a personal opinion.

I've been told it's safer, where they're mounted now, they'd exert force downwards on the spine?:S
