But worth it for a nice clean finish.







Had a quick blast around without the carpet's fitted behind the seats and engine cover, noise level seemed ok nothing to high and light throttle was fine.

There's a fair bit of weigh in the 3 pieces covering the engine, the 2 carpets have a fair amount of foam giving scope to remove it.

So i've lost 74kg so far and for the moment that's it, the car has been off the road since the end of september and

it's time i got her back on the road again, so still looking to remove a few more kilos, but over a longer period......

Thought i'd add some weight, did a wrap on the center console came out looking good

thou it did take me around 4 hours



your skill level is way above mine. I tried several times to wrap the center console. never could get it looking good (ie. no bubbles or tears or creases). finally gave up, just going to hydro-dip it.
