Fair play scott, I was just gonna get some nice mats for mine but I think the grip tape from benn/craig idea fits the car better :) Would also suit Adams!

Got the sound deadening ripped up after work today. Its left the glue crap but i will get rid of that with a wire wheel. Good to see NO rust AT ALL :cool:
Also got the cage in place to see where/what needs changing/modding.
Few test fit pics, fits quite well :)
The primer is just to mark an outline where the cage sits.....
Excuse the phone pics, i dont carry a digicam around with me lol

Heres a problem, the previous owner cut the feet off and shortened the b-pillar legs (to get the cage to clear a gsi sunroof)

So im going to have to make a 90deg kind of metal plate, welded to the floor and sill, and then boxed in at the ends.
Will probably just weld the cage feet back on, and weld that bit of the cage directly to the floor spreader plate. (Looks a bit tricky to try and get bolts through there, with it not sitting flush on the floor)
Front legs, again will weld the feet back on, then weld a spreader to the floor and bolt it down.

Windscreen bar(had to remove the sun visors)

So now just got to get some metal sheet (thinking 2mm?), get it cut to size and weld the spreaders in. And then get the cage in.
And then prep and respray the floor.... :thumb:
Also dug the Comp's out my parents loft that ive had for about a year lol
Lookin at spraying them a similar colour to the car, as it'll look a bit different. Maybe Clio williams wheel colour?
Looking good. cages are a pain to fit as i found out lol
Body coloured wheels would look a bit off imo, gold could work
The car is gold, ish lol
Was thinking maybe gold, with blue Comp stickers and centre caps.....
Already managed to t**t my head on the cage twice when getting out the car, thats without seats fitted lol.
Also trapped my finger inbetween the top door bar and the door seal :( lol
that say 'seat' on the sunroof??
cages rock. good stuff.
Its a Seat sunroof......
Aftermarket non vaux conversion.....
Just noticed you had to lose the rear view mirror as well lol. Gonna get a stick on one for the windscreen?
The cars green! lolQuote:

Rich, the mirror should go back on, i removed it just to get the windscreen bar in place.
Thanks Nick, your opinion is always very welcome to me :)
