I understand you have a copy of Andy Bishops FMIC, any chance you could give me the details of the company that made it, i fancy a FMIC but don't want it on show. I posted on JOV but didn't get an answer from Andy yet.

IIRC Radtec made them for andy http://www.radtec.co.uk/ but i am sure proalloy http://www.proalloy.co.uk/ could make you a equally good setup if they are any closer to you? It would just be a case of dropping your car with them though as they have possibly never done a nova setup.

Its looking very tidy keith.

Mine was a LUXE.. however i've just got a standard dash and door cappings.

Mine is Burgandy, and grey goes well with redish colours, so i presume that's why they left it as a standard colour.

You also get really nice velour seats in some of the LUXE's... Mine were sooo comfortable.

Spectral blue looks a touch darker than Keiths colour.

Ade took some shots of the shell in the evening of saturday outside his work. He sent them through this morning, so I thought i'd share them with you.

has joff replied on this thread since the colour pics have been posted up...??

im kidding.

Dead exciting all this; thus far (money no object) youve done everything i would have if i was going out n out on nova. Luv the vents in the wings and that early mk1 tailgate. I guess the only 'untrue' thing your doing is mk2'ing and mk1.. but on irish plates no one would know; plus mk2's do look better. In my opinion.

Cheers :D I've tried to do everything right this time, and hopefully the car will last and give me years of fun.

Joff's is a Vauxhall colour, mine is an Audi Colour, would look very different sitting beside eachother.

Looks lovely Keith, wish I have the funds to go balls out :(

That looks quite a bit darker than Joff's

I wouldn't want to put any interior in and just show off that finish. All I can say is WOW, this will look stunning. Another top job from Ade.

^Thats where the skill is. Making ideas reality ;)

Agreed, I know alot of people who come out with new ideas every day and rarely if ever forfill them. When I say i'm going to do something, i'd say you'd be pretty safe to bet on it happening.

Looking good - too dark for Europa Blue I think! Top tip - take all the zips and buttons off your work clothes so you don't get any accidential scratches!
