As always, very nice Rob, liking the dash wrap.
Is it hand stitched or by machine?

Thanks Terry , the vinyl is just warpped and glued. Its a bit of messing around and im sure a upholsterer could do much better but it came out ok

where did you get that carbon fibre look stuff Rob?

It was from ebay and looks quite good , let me know and ill find the seller if your interested. Ill get a better pic once its outside and sorry mate already fitted the flares as its easier to do with the smaller rubber to get your hands in and under the flares
