I've got a reasonably busy weekend coming up as far as the cars are concerned.

Having a new clutch cable fitted by MicKPM in the Clio, in preparation for the Hill Power rolling road day the weekend after, also got the rear bearings to sort on the 19 and them Monroe shockers I've had for yonks to fit on the front, time and loan of spring compressors providing.

Oh right, i'll check that out Chris, cheers. I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to cars in this kind of company so you'll have to forgive my mechanical ineptitude!

We're not going down that road again are we? Laughing

It looks alright in the hazy pic!

it also looks like that pic was taken when it was relatively new, there are no bits hanging off it or broken plastics and a bungee cord holding things together in that pic unlike when u came to mine on it Razz

This weekend I'm going to pick up my new exec leather seats Very Happy

Bastid, I'm looking for leather seats, but the head rests at the back of a cabby is different from noemal seats so it's a hard find!

FCS Event Manager Joined: 04 Jan 2005 Posts: 3680

are the cabby rear headrests the small jobbies ?

if so then i think they would be the same as the ph2 execs had
