Now I have so much carbon on the car I want to get some nice 'weave showing' carbon doors made for it. One day.

Some nice visual doors too. Look tidy that will.

Thanks, I'm really pleased with the way it looks and fits. It will be nice to get the carbon tailgate on as well, but that is going to be bonded into place, so I need to relocate the fuel filler as that's currently inside the boot.

As for the front wheels, the ones that are on the car in the photos are my narrower 'wet weather' ones, so I think the arches will look more filled out when it's got the 7.5" or 8" wide wheels I use on the front in dry weather.

But there is an option to space out if necessary.

I need someone to make them though Mike.............can you help?

[novarally]

A fair bit of effort has allowed me to shift the pedal box as far as is possible to the right;





This has made the placement of the pedal box as close to perfect as it's possible to get, given the fixed location of the inner wheel arch.

It also means that I'm reasonably confident that the carbon fibre false floor and clutch footrest can be persuaded to fit in there, with a little bit of adjustment;

Looks good Colin ,I like the carbon floor

[therealnovaboy]

Surely the carbon floor is dead weight? I cant see you having much time to rest your foot.

can you not just fit some skateboard grip tape to the floor to stop your heels sliping about.

[Benn]

Is the clutch foot rest not a bit far forward?
