SMALL UPDATE:

 

Got some pictures i forgot to upload, and a couple of new ones to share :thumb:

 

New rear speakers & tweeters

And covered back up for a standard look (just like the front)

New flocked dash with my white bits

Fitted (plus glovebox)

Steering column too

Much prefer the black flock to the blue plastic, even though the blue dash was pretty funky looking (added some colour) This dash now for sale BTW ;)

 

Rear shot (exhaust rubber bung perished last week so re-fitted new one)

RS grill back on (never got round to spraying it :rolleyes: ) Dont mind thats it green now the black bonnet on. Still think the front grill, rear number plate surround and lower grill (once fitted) all need to be the same colour as my wheels

http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj208/TC-DNB/IMG_0260.jpg

 

My Fiesta RS Turbo seats and new shoulder pads (cheap Ripspeed ones but they have an RS logo and match pretty well IMO)

http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj208/TC-DNB/IMG_0266.jpg

 

Couple of stickers and the Ghia badge

http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj208/TC-DNB/IMG_0267.jpg

 

My engine bay - couple of chrome dress up parts and K&N induction kit with cold air feed

love the flocking :thumb: why i have it in the mondy :)

arent you supposed to have a gap between the induction filter and intake hose as instructions if i remember say leave a 2" gap, thats why my one was just under the filter in the airbox and my rovers looked like this:

that was installed as per the instructions as was brand new kit

and the escort K&N one before i swapped for the pipercross:

That interior looks much better IMO mate.

 

Someone was saying that they were going to be putting a mk6 bonnet with rs2k bulges welded in up for sale soonish - would look the danglies on this I reckon.

 

:cheers:

that would be ginger dave off his white si as he now has a carbon fibre one

Yea I've already asked Dave what he planned to do with it. Best check the thread. I'd love that bonnet!

 

And thanks for the comments mate, looks much better ay!

UPDATE:

 

Set of Sabelt race harnesses came in at work, couldn't resist cleaning and fitting them :P Wasn't needed but thought why not!? Fitting was pretty easy but did need to remove front seats (needed a good hoover underneath anyway) so wasn't too bothered.

 

Pictures :thumb:

 

Seats out (pre-hoover)

Pre-tensioners and old seat buckles off...lining up new belts

http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj208/TC-DNB/IMG_0426.jpg

 

Done...

As always comments welcome :)

They are meant to go back from the seat at a certain angle, i think they are meant to drop at a angle of about 30degrees (ballpark, dont quote me on that).

 

Having the angle too steep or too shallow can cause some nasty injuries even in a small bump.
