Not sure they would IVA would they? They make you put bike indicators on long stalks to make them visible from various angles, cant see ones inside the headlamp being visible from these angles?

The stalks are only needed to get the indicators within 400mm of the edge of the vehicle.
If they were built into the headlights that wouldn't be a problem as the headlights need to be within 400mm of the side anyway.
I suspect where they would fail IVA is with the headlight beam pattern, as presumably they 'kick' the wrong way with them being from the US.
Still a nice idea though!

Davey fitted some all in one units. Not cheap but very neat venom 5, they have side light head/dip and indicator. I think the fronts only need to be visible from the front, the side indicators deal with vision from other angles.

Stupid question I suppose but how much fuel pipe did you use? Just ordering some now.

If you mean the copper lines I bought 10 metres, and probably have about a metre and a half left (I must have wasted a fair bit!).
If you mean the rubber pipes, I've no idea!

Didn't turn out too bad for my first proper attempt at upholstery, some of the seams are a bit wonky, but I think I'm starting to get the hang of it:

I see you have made a second black cover? Red one looks good, and my car will be red eventually. Do you sell the red one??

Sorry Chris, the red one is no more
I was running low on red vinyl, and chopped the red cover up the other night to make some more interior panels...

Speaking of interior panels, I've spent the last couple of days in front of the sewing machine making some more



Just finished fitting my seats and belts too:

Looks ace? What seats are those? There not your original seats are they??
