Title: RR's latest mod....

GTI related but a simple teaser which probably most will get immediately, assuming you're interested enough to be bothered or got time to waste :grin:

....Hi Chris! Good to see you still visiting here  :happy2:

Yep, I still have those comfy Recaro's. Even with the .:R logo they look very stock in overall appearance as if the car was factory supplied with them - Well, a few were! Some proper Recaro trackday one-piece buckets crossed my mind (cushion pads in Interlagos) but my car is primarily a road car.

You still lovin your Beemer? (silly question)

Ahh good! Glad to hear that I was mistaken! I didn't think you would get rid of those seats!

Yes loving the BMW...need to start a build thread soon as mods are starting to come now!

I am very intrigued as to what this 'object' is.....?!
Title: Re: RR's latest mod....
Post by: RedRobin on November 20, 2010, 06:44:31 pm
^^^^
The identity of the 'object' will be revealed in due course.

I'm enjoying the guesses so far, guys  :happy2:

Is it a carbon fibre splint for your middle finger?

....I've checked out the cowling on mine without the gauge installed and it doesn't hide either the redline on the rev counter nor the blue full beam light. Did you not have the offset version?

You know how useless I am with car installations. I'm passing JKM on my way to friends in Surrey anyway and I'd rather someone who knows what they're doing takes responsibility. Furthermore, I don't have tools anyway.

yeh mine is the offset , might be how i have my seat ! be interested to see how they fit it as from memory it comes with sticky pads (naff) i drilled mine off to the oe fixing points . also if you have your wheel pulled back you will see some of the collum

No sticky pads supplied with mine.
