That's a great idea! I have a V8 bonnet, didn't realise they were almost a grand and half! 😳

That doesn’t include VAT either, wow. Expensive now.

@Flying Carrot Steve i think it depends on girth, the rounder you are the more space between buckle and siides for achieving adjustment... being somewhat skinny, i found i had to undo the belt to adjust the lap strap.

 

With the old belts I was sitting on the adjuster so no hope of alteration unless you got out..

I'm definitely not skinny and still can't adjust the lap belt with it done up. Have to undo the whole belt, adjust and guess if it's right then clip it up again.

Side wind deflectors from Westfield £160 or some 5mm polycarbonate sheet from work - free to a good home. Stainless liftoff hinges left & right hand - Amazon £12.

I knocked out the hinge pin, machined them to size to suit the windscreen then drilled & fitted a 3mm grub screw to secure. Tried and tested today, much satisfaction in the process of making and the end result IMG_20240707_103134_HDR.thumb.jpg.d782d05cce7adc150682cca5550e1ab2.jpg

Look fantastic, well done.

Just a pity they're about 3 weeks too late for me. :cry:

Wired up the DRL's.

Used the same controller as I've used on a few Mx5 installs and it's never let me down, though required a couple of resistors to work properly. It was fine with a incandescent bulb, but wouldn't recognise the leds.

Hardest part was threading the cable up through the sleeve to the headlamps, but I was determined to do it.

Finally got the crash pad recovered and fitted. Fake suede. Looks good at the moment, see how it fares over time

 

I have enough material to redo it about 20 times!

Looks fantastic, you can be proud of that. 🙌

 

You could always cover your costs by using up the extra fabric on other people's cars...😉

He/she will need a jetwash when you get home! Just make sure you turn the pressure down 😂

How did you get the YouTube vids to embed? Last time I put a YT link in all I got was the  written link, no icon or anything

Bodged my accelerator cable after it snapped at the pedal. Managed to get home thankfully as I didn’t get very far. If I’d known how it connected I’d probably have been able to fix it properly before my bodge 😆 New cable needed!
